The context of this passage is talking of two kinds of wisdom: that of the world and that of God. Worldly wisdom, ‘street smarts’, or whatever you call it isn’t knowledge that was ever intended to exist. Think about this…why would you ever need to know how to fight if there was no violence? Why would you need to know how to crack a safe if there was no crime? I hope for the day when worldly wisdom will pass away.
