[There is] no wisdom nor understanding, nor counsel
against
the Lord.
] No human schemes whatever, formed with the greatest wisdom and
prudence, can ever prevail against God, or set aside or hinder
the execution of any design of his; nothing that is pointed
against his church, his cause, and interest, his truths and
ordinances, in the issue shall succeed; all that are found
fighters against him shall not prosper, let them be men of ever
so much sagacity and wisdom; though there may be ever so many
devices in a man's heart, and these ever so well planned, they
shall never defeat the counsel of the Lord; see ( Proverbs
19:21 ) . The Targum is,
``there is no wisdom as God's;''and so the Syriac version, "as the Lord's"; there is none like his, there is none to be compared with his; there is none of any value and worth but his; all is folly in comparison of that: or there is none "before the Lord" F14; no wisdom of the creature can stand before him, it presently vanishes and disappears.
