Ver. 9. The wiſe men are aſhamed] They have cauſe to be aſhamed of their groſſe ignorance and folly, ver. 7, 8. and greater cauſe then ever humble Auſtin had to ſay Scientia mea me damnat, my knowledge undoeth me.
Lo they have rejected the word of the Lord] As to any holy practice: their knowledge is only Apprehenſive and notional, not Affective and practical.
And what wiſdom is in them] q d. None worth ſpeaking of: they loſe their civil praiſes, becauſe not wiſe to ſalvation.
