The shame of the wise: 'The wise will be put to shame; they will be dismayed and trapped. Since they have rejected the word of the LORD, what kind of wisdom do they have?' This verse announces that the wise will face shame and dismay: their 'wisdom' is revealed as false when judgment comes. The phrase 'Since they have rejected the word of the LORD, what kind of wisdom do they have?' establishes that true wisdom involves accepting God's word; rejection of the word is the height of foolishness. Theologically, this verse establishes that the intellectual and religious elite will be exposed as fraudulent when judgment arrives.
