And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.
From Psalms 94:11, Septuagint There it is of men; here it is "of the wise." Paul by inspiration states the class whose "thoughts" х dialogismous (G1261); Hebrew, Machsheboth] (rather, "reasonings," as suits the context) the Spirit designated in the psalm, "vanity" - namely, the "proud" (1 Corinthians 3:2) and worldly wise, whom God in 1 Corinthians 3:8 calls "fools," though they "boast themselves" of their wisdom in pushing their interests (1 Corinthians 3:4).
