Isaiah 5:21

Wise in their own eyes. Confident that they know better than God, these perverse impenitents become “vain in their imaginations,” and their “foolish heart” is locked in darkness (Rom. 1:21; see DA 213). Their vaunted wisdom is consummate folly (Rom. 1:22). The world is filled with men who look with disdain upon those who believe God and obey His word. They find fault with everything God has done and all He proposes to do. It is men of this type who today are bringing woe upon themselves and the world about them. What these men need is to heed the sublime words of the psalmist, “Be still, and know that I am God” (Ps. 46:10).
