Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
Ver. 20. Where is the wise?] The teacher of traditions; the Jews had a proverb, οι σοφοι ημων δευτερωσι .
Where is the scribe?] Or the textmen, those that proceed according to the literal interpretation.
Where is the disputer?] The teachers of allegories and mysteries, 1 Timothy 1:4 .
