Then Israel tries to come up with proper responses to God's acts. Finally, the Lord responds that He has already shown mankind what is good. It is interesting to look around at signs in people's offices. I am typing this piece on a computer. When I verify the spelling, the computer balks at the misspelled words on the above signs, but when I tell it to ignore those errors, it does exactly as I say.
Computers only do what they are manufactured and programmed to do.
Sin and pride have programmed human beings with a wisdom that is foolishness before God. Those who think they are perfect, or at least closer to perfect than most, cannot walk humbly even with God. They walk arrogantly with everyone. Those who look away from God's mercy, and look instead for His approval, show no mercy to others. The world is full of people whose minds are stuffed with human wisdom, but they lack God.
