Isaiah 44:25

That frustrateth the tokens of the liars, and maketh diviners mad; that turneth wise men backward, and maketh their knowledge foolish;

God frustrates the signs of liars and makes diviners mad, overturning and exposing their claims. He turns worldly wise men backward and makes their knowledge foolishness and folly. This belongs to Isaiah's message to Israel in chapters that reveal God's purpose for His people.

It teaches God's people to seek wisdom from Him rather than relying on finite human beings and turning from Him to finite people for wisdom.

Mere intellectual power without spiritual power is useless, and people will never reach the spiritual and intellectual heights God intends until they become partakers of the divine nature, made pure and unselfish and bearing divine credentials in life. In a sick religious world where iniquity abounds and love grows cold, God casts down the high imaginations of men while upholding the word of His servants and causing human wrath to serve His praise.
