  • Isa 57:12-13 : 12 I will declare your righteousness and your works; for they shall not profit you. 13 When you cry, let your companies deliver you; but the wind shall carry them all away, vanity shall take them; but he who puts his trust in me shall possess the land, and shall inherit my holy mountain.
  • Isa 59:5-6 : 5 They hatch viper’s eggs and weave the spider's web: he who eats of their eggs dies, and what is crushed breaks out into a viper. 6 Their webs will not become garments, nor will they cover themselves with their works: their works are works of iniquity, and the act of violence is in their hands.
  • Isa 64:6 : 6 But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.
  • Isa 66:3-6 : 3 He that kills an ox is as if he slew a man; he that sacrifices a lamb, as if he broke a dog's neck; he that offers an offering, as if he offered swine's blood; he that burns incense, as if he blessed an idol. Yes, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delights in their abominations. 4 I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none answered; when I spoke, they did not hear: but they did evil before my eyes, and chose that in which I do not delight. 5 Hear the word of the LORD, you that tremble at his word; Your brethren that hated you, that cast you out for my name's sake, said, Let the LORD be glorified: but he shall appear to your joy, and they shall be ashamed. 6 A voice of noise from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of the LORD rendering recompense to his enemies.

  • Rom 9:30-32 : 30 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness of faith. 31 But Israel, pursuing the law of righteousness, has not attained to the law of righteousness. 32 Why? Because they did not seek it by faith, but as it were, by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumbling stone;
  • 1 Cor 1:18-31 : 18 For the preaching of the cross is to those who perish foolishness; but to us who are saved it is the power of God. 19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. 20 Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? 21 For since in the wisdom of God the world through wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of preaching to save those who believe. 22 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: 23 But we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling block, and to the Greeks foolishness; 24 But to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. 25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. 26 For you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: 27 But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God has chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; 28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, God has chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are: 29 That no flesh should glory in his presence. 30 But of him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God—and righteousness and sanctification and redemption— 31 That, as it is written, He who glories, let him glory in the Lord.
