The Pharisees of old made a show of asking 'What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?' But they shall not do what is required of them. Wisdom was too high for them since their carnal nature came in between. Activism prosperity theology,- love of money and praise of men leave no room for humility and obedience which persist even in our times. Why would they seek wisdom it they were to turn out in the end like reprobate silver?
Satan knows the word of God but without understanding the key to it,- the everlasting covenant and the aspect of Salvation all his wisdom is to no purpose. As James would put it "but is earthly, sensual, devilish./ For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work"(Jas.3:16-17). Satan resisted what the Lord had willed. Joshua was a double for the Son. "And he shewed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to resist him./ And the LORD said unto Satan, The LORD rebuke thee, O Satan; even the LORD that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee" (See under A-Accuser)
"Wherefore is there a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdom, seeing he hath no heart to it?"(Pr.17:16)
God searches the hearts and knows what are their motives. So when one seeks wisdom, to what purpose is the first question? If he is uncertain and if he asks in earnest God shall establish it for him. "Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established.(16:3)" Secondly a man may draw his conclusions which are not guarantee that it shall succeed. A fool is the one who may ask but nevertheless wants to settle the outcome by himself. Samuel told King Saul how but he did it anyway as he wanted. When he confronted him he admits, "And Saul said unto Samuel, I have sinned: for I have transgressed the commandment of the Lord, and thy words: because I feared the people, and obeyed their voice."(1 Sa.15:24).
