2 Nephi 9:28

O that cunning plan of the evil one! O the vainness, and the frailties, and the foolishness of men! When they are learned, they think they are wise, and they hearken not unto the counsel of God, for they set it aside, supposing they know of themselves. Wherefore, their wisdom is foolishness, and it profiteth them not. Wherefore they shall perish.

The evil one has such a sneaky plan! People are so empty and weak and foolish! When they are educated, they think they are wise. They don’t listen to God’s advice. They ignore it. They think they know things by themselves. So their wisdom is foolish. It doesn’t help them. So they will die.

That’s the devil’s clever scheme! How vain and weak and foolish people are! When they get educated, they think they’re wise and ignore God’s counsel. They push it aside, thinking they know better. Their wisdom is foolishness. It does them no good. They’ll be destroyed.
