That agrees with what God said in his book:

1:19b “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise;

“I will ruin/destroy the wise thoughts of wise people.
-or-
“I will show how worthless/foolish are the clever thoughts of clever people.

1:19c the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.”

I will ruin the intelligent/clever plans of smart people.”
-or-
I will show/prove that the clever ideas of clever people are not successful.”
