The wise men are ashamed] Or, have they been ashamed. Or, have they made ashamed, &c. The wifest among you may well be ashamed of their ignorance and folly. Romans 1:22. Or, shall not with all their wisdome be able to keep themselves from being dismaied, confounded, captived. Isa. 47. 10-14. Or, reading the words by way of interrogation, Have these wise men, as they reckon themselves, brought the people by their instructions and admonitions to be ashamed of their evill courses? or have they been thereby cast down and humbled, and so caught by them, (Luke 5. 10. Jud. 23.) and brought to repentance? See vers. 12. Chap. 6. 15. they have rejected the word of the LORD] They set light by, and regard not that Law, which they vaunt so much of. Chap. 6. 10. Romans 2:23. and what wisdome is in them] Heb. the wisdom of what thing is in them? What wisdom can they have, when as all true wisdom consisteth in that word, which they so reject? Psalms 19:7. and Psalms 119:130. Proverbs 2:6. 2 Timothy 3:15.
