What the Bible says about Trusting in Worldly Wisdom
(From Forerunner Commentary)

Ecclesiastes 2:12-13

Solomon is forced to ask himself, "What can the person who follows Solomon do that Solomon has not already done? He did it better than his successor can ever hope to do, because God had endowed him with so many gifts. His conclusion: His successor will be able to do only what he has already done.

Wisdom does have goodness to it; it is not without value. It is certainly far better than foolishness, but it is not the ultimate source of reliance. One cannot put his trust in his worldly wisdom.

John W. Ritenbaugh
Ecclesiastes and the Feast of Tabernacles (Part 2)
