20 Where [4226] is the wise [4680]? where [4226] is the scribe [1122]? where [4226] is the disputer [4804] of this [5127] world [165]? hath [3471] not [3780] God [2316] made foolish [3471] the wisdom [4678] of this [5127] world [2889]?
21 Because [1360] that, when they knew [1097] God [2316], they glorified [1392] him not [3756] as [5613] God [2316], neither [2228] were thankful [2168]; but [235] became vain [3154] in [1722] their [846] imaginations [1261], and [2532] their [846] foolish [801] heart [2588] was darkened [4654].
22 Professing themselves [5335] to be [1511] wise [4680], they became fools [3471],
23 And [2532] changed [236] the glory [1391] of the uncorruptible [862] God [2316] into [1722] an image [1504] made like [3667] to corruptible [5349] man [444], and [2532] to birds [4071], and [2532] fourfooted beasts [5074], and [2532] creeping things [2062].
24 Wherefore [1352] God [2316] also [2532] gave [3860] them [846] up [3860] to [1519] uncleanness [167] through [1722] the lusts [1939] of their own [846] hearts [2588], to dishonour [818] their own [846] bodies [4983] between [1722] themselves [1438]:
25 Who [3748] changed [3337] the truth [225] of God [2316] into [1722] a lie [5579], and [2532] worshipped [4573] and [2532] served [3000] the creature [2937] more than [3844] the Creator [2936], who [3739] is [2076] blessed [2128] for [1519] ever [165]. Amen [281].
25 That frustrateth [06565] the tokens [0226] of the liars [0907], and maketh diviners [07080] mad [01984]; that turneth [07725] wise [02450] men backward [0268], and maketh their knowledge [01847] foolish [05528];
