THE BOOK OF THE PROPHET
JEREMIAH
CHAPTER 8
  8 How do ye say, We are awise, and the law of the Lord is with us? Lo, certainly in vain made he it; the pen of the scribes is in vain.

Footnotes
8a
1 Cor. 1: 20 (19-20)
  20 Where is the wise? where is the ascribe? where is the bdisputer of this cworld? hath not God made foolish the dwisdom of this eworld?
2 Ne. 9: 28.
  28 O that cunning aplan of the evil one! O the bvainness, and the frailties, and the cfoolishness of men! When they are dlearned they think they are ewise, and they fhearken not unto the gcounsel of God, for they set it aside, supposing they know of themselves, wherefore, their hwisdom is foolishness and it profiteth them not. And they shall perish.
