What the Fathers say
Western Saints
Gregory the Dialogist
He taketh the wise in their own craftiness, and the counsel of the froward is carried headlong. For oftentimes, some that are puffed up with human wisdom, when they see that the decrees of God are contrary to their inclinations, set themselves to oppose them with crafty manoeuvres, and that they may bend the power of the dispensation of the Most High to meet their own wishes, they busy themselves in cunning contrivances, they devise schemes of excessive refinement. …
Thomas Aquinas
Some however deceive others by cunning. As for these he says, "He surprises the wise in their own craftiness," because what the cunning plan go contrary to their design, "and dissipates the plan of evil men," when what they seemed to wisely plan cannot be effected because of impediments put in their way from on high.
