“Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,”
Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools. The paradox of human rebellion: those who boast in their wisdom (sophia) demonstrate themselves to be foolish (moraino). This ironic reversal echoes Psalm 14:1 and establishes a principle: autonomous human reason severed from reverent submission to God becomes irrational and self-deceived. Pride in intellectual achievement becomes the gateway to comprehensive spiritual darkness.
