Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

The Folly of Human Wisdom

¹⁸ Let no one deceive^(A) himself. If anyone among you thinks he is wise in this age,^(B) let him become a fool^(C) so that he can become wise.^{(D) 19} For the wisdom of this world is foolishness^(E) with God, since it is written,^(F) He catches the wise in their craftiness;^{[a](G) 20} and again, The Lord knows that the reasonings^(H) of the wise are futile.^[b](I)
