25 who foils the signs of false prophets

and makes fools of diviners,

who overthrows the learning of the wise

and turns it into nonsense,

25 who frustrates the signs of liars

and makes fools of diviners,

who turns wise men back

and makes their knowledge foolish,

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

25 I expose the false prophets as liars

and make fools of fortune-tellers.

I cause the wise to give bad advice,

thus proving them to be fools.

25 I show that the signs of the lying prophets are false;

I make fools of those who do magic.

I confuse even the wise;

they think they know much, but I make them look foolish.

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

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

25 I cause the signs of false prophets to fail 

and make fools of fortunetellers. 

I make wise men retreat 

and turn their knowledge into foolishness. 

25 who destroys the omens of the false prophets

and makes fools of diviners;

who confounds the wise

and makes their knowledge foolishness;

25 who frustrates the omens of liars,

and makes fools of diviners;

who turns back the wise,

and makes their knowledge foolish;

25 who frustrates the signs of oracle priests

and makes a fool of diviners,

who drives the wise men back

and makes their knowledge foolish,

25 “Some prophets are not really prophets at all.

I show that their miraculous signs are fake.

I make those who practice evil magic look foolish.

I destroy the learning of those who think they are wise.

Their knowledge does not make any sense at all.

25 Causing the omens of boasters to fail,

Making fools out of diviners,

Causing wise men to draw back

And turning their knowledge into foolishness,
