Ahithophel [

turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness.
2 Samuel 17:14 And Absalom and all the men of Israel said, The counsel of Hushai the Archite [

and hanged himself, and died, and was buried in the sepulchre of his father.
Isaiah 19:12-
14 Where [
are] they?
where [are] thy wise [
men]? and
let them tell thee now, and let them know what the LORD of hosts hath purposed upon Egypt. ... The LORD
hath mingled a
perverse spirit in the midst thereof: and they have caused Egypt to err in every work thereof, as a drunken [
man] staggereth in his vomit.
Isaiah 29:14 Therefore, behold,
I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, [
even] a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise [
men] shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent [
men] shall be hid.
1 Corinthians 1:19-
20 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. ... Where
[is] the wise? where [
is] the scribe? where [
is] the disputer of this world?
hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
