Proverbs 26:12

¹⁸Let no one deceive himself. If anyone thinks that he is wise among you in this world, let him become a fool that he may become wise. ¹⁹For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, “He has taken the wise in their craftiness.”

²⁰Do you see a man who is hasty in his words? There is more hope for a fool than for him.

⁵Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own eyes.

¹⁶Be of the same mind one toward another. Don’t set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Don’t be wise in your own conceits.

¹¹The rich man is wise in his own eyes; but the poor who has understanding sees through him.

¹⁷Because you say, ‘I am rich, and have gotten riches, and have need of nothing,’ and don’t know that you are the wretched one, miserable, poor, blind, and naked;

¹¹The Pharisee stood and prayed by himself like this: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like the rest of men: extortionists, unrighteous, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.

³¹Which of the two did the will of his father?” They said to him, “The first.” Jesus said to them, “Most certainly I tell you that the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering into God’s Kingdom before you.

⁷Don’t be wise in your own eyes. Fear the LORD, and depart from evil.

¹⁶The sluggard is wiser in his own eyes than seven men who answer with discretion.
