²⁵ who destroys the omens of the false prophets
and makes fools of diviners;
who confounds the wise
and makes their knowledge foolishness;^(A)

⁹ The wise will be put to shame;
they will be dismayed and snared.
They have rejected the word of the Lord,^(A)
so what wisdom do they really have?

Is there no longer wisdom in Teman?^(B)
Has counsel perished from the prudent?
Has their wisdom rotted away?^(C)

I will destroy the wisdom of the wise,
and I will set aside the intelligence of the intelligent.^[a](A)
