For it is written,
I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.

And then, that we may known from whence this comes, he adds: "For it is written, `I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.' ".
-that God, no doubt, who in reference to this very dispensation of His threatened long before that He would "destroy the wisdom of the wise."
