First letter to the Corinthians 1:20

Where are the [Greek] wise men (philosophers, thinkers)?
Where are the [Jewish] scribes?
Where are the debaters of this world?
[They are not there, for God has destroyed them, see verse 19.]
Has God not shown the foolishness of this world's wisdom? [Isa. 55:8–9]
