For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God’s sight.
In the context of 1 Corinthians, Paul addresses divisions within the Corinthian church, emphasizing the contrast between human wisdom and divine wisdom. The "wisdom of this world" refers to human philosophies and reasoning that are often celebrated in society but lack spiritual insight. Historically, Corinth was a hub of intellectual and philosophical activity, influenced by Greek thought, which prized rhetoric and human wisdom. Paul challenges this by asserting that such wisdom is "foolishness" to God, who values humility and spiritual understanding over intellectual prowess. This echoes themes found inIsaiah 29:14, where God promises to confound the wisdom of the wise, highlighting the limitations of human understanding compared to divine revelation.

As it is written: “He catches the wise in their craftiness.”
This phrase is a direct quotation fromJob 5:13, where Eliphaz speaks of God's ability to thwart the plans of the cunning. In the broader biblical narrative, this reflects a recurring theme where God subverts human schemes and demonstrates His sovereignty. The use of "craftiness" suggests deceit or manipulation, often associated with those who rely on their own intellect rather than seeking God's guidance. This concept is further illustrated in the story of the Tower of Babel (Genesis 11:1-9), where human ambition and wisdom are confounded by God. Additionally, it points to the ultimate wisdom found in Christ, who embodies the fulfillment of God's plan, contrasting with the temporary and often misguided wisdom of the world.

What Does 1 Corinthians 3:19 Mean
For the wisdom of this world

• Paul begins by spotlighting “the wisdom of this world,” the collective mindset that leaves God out of its calculations. This is the same mindset he already contrasted with “the message of the cross” (1 Corinthians 1:18–25).

• Worldly wisdom tends to celebrate ingenuity, achievement, and self-reliance, yet it is limited to temporary realities (James 3:15–16).

• Scripture never denies genuine intelligence; instead, it confronts the pride that assumes human reason can stand on its own (Proverbs 3:5–7).

is foolishness in God’s sight

• From heaven’s vantage point, the most celebrated human conclusions collapse, because they are built without the fear of the Lord, “the beginning of wisdom” (Proverbs 9:10).

• God’s verdict exposes the emptiness of any philosophy that sidelines Christ (Colossians 2:8).

• What looks sophisticated on earth is, by God’s flawless standard, foolish—unable to save or even adequately diagnose the human heart (Jeremiah 17:9;Romans 1:22).

As it is written

• Paul appeals to Scripture as the final authority, underscoring that God Himself has already spoken on this subject (2 Timothy 3:16).

• By prefacing with “It is written,” he links the Corinthians—and us—back to the enduring testimony of the Old Testament, showing the continuity of God’s assessment across history (Psalm 119:89).

He catches the wise in their craftiness

• QuotingJob 5:13, Paul highlights how God turns human schemes back on the schemers.

• Examples abound:

– Pharaoh’s calculated oppression led to Israel’s liberation and Egypt’s ruin (Exodus 14:23–31).

– Haman’s gallows became his own place of judgment (Esther 7:10).

– The cross, Rome’s tool of shame, became the means of our redemption (Acts 2:23–24).

• God does not merely out-argue worldly wisdom; He actively demonstrates its bankruptcy by overruling it for His glory (1 Corinthians 1:27).

summary

The verse dismantles any confidence in purely human insight. What the world applauds, God calls foolish. His Word has already proven that He catches self-styled experts in their own clever traps. True wisdom starts and ends with revering Him and embracing the gospel of Christ, the power and wisdom of God for all who believe.

(19)With God.--Better,in the sight of God (Romans 2:13).

For it is written.--By two passages, one from Job, and the other from the Psalms, St. Paul proves the truth of his previous assertion regarding God's estimate of mere "worldly wisdom." It may be noticed that with the exception of the reference inJames 5:11 to the "proverbial patience" of Job, of which the writer says "ye haveheard" (notread), this is the only allusion to the book of Job or to Job in the New Testament.

Verse 19. -The wisdom of this world. Here the word for "world" iskosmos, in the last verse it wasalert. Kosmos is the world regarded objectively;aion the world regarded in its moral and intellectual aspect.He that taketh the wise in their craftiness. This is one of the few references to the Book of Job in the New Testament. It comes from the speech of Eliphaz inJob 5:13, but St. Paul substitutes the words "clutching" (drassomenos) and "craftiness" (panourgia) for the milderkatalabon andphronesei of the LXX.
