I think you missed the italics on the first use of the word "wisdom." That points out the fact that man's wisdom can lead to self-deception. In so doing it shows just how unwise man's wisdom really is.
BTW, great post Acteon. Add the admonition of James concerning the man who looks in the glass and then straightway forgets what manner of amn he is (self-deception) and one sees the folly of considering one wise in their own eyes.
