"Understand, ye brutish among the people: and ye fools, when will ye be wise? He that planted the ear, shall He not hear? He that formed the eye, shall He not see? He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not He correct? He that teacheth man knowledge, shall He not know? The Lord knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.... In the multitude of my thoughts within me, Thy comforts delight my soul" (Psalm 94:8-19). "Surely the princes... are fools, the counsel of the wise counselors is become brutish.... Where are thy wise men?" (Isaiah 19:11,12).
The worldly wisdom of this earth
So influential in our schools
Has now received its graded worth:
God esteems them all as fools.
When, O fools, will you be wise,
And when will you receive instruction?
He who made our ears and eyes
Is God, by logical deduction!
O Lord, You see the great confusion
And vanity that fills their mind
Who come to such a strange conclusion,
As fools who render themselves blind.
We thank You, Lord, amidst it all,
Your comforts still delight our soul,
As You command us to recall
That You are God, and in control.
