“Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight! in their own sight: Heb. before their face”
Isaiah 5:21 (KJV)
Commentary on Isaiah 5:21
The fifth woe targets intellectual pride—those 'wise in their own eyes' and 'prudent in their own sight.' The doubled phrases emphasize self-referential wisdom that rejects divine revelation. This describes autonomous human reason exalted above God's revealed truth. Proverbs warns repeatedly against such self-conceit (Proverbs 3:7, 26:12). Paul identifies this as characteristic of human fallenness (Romans 1:22).
