It means exactly what it says. In context it is about idols, but anything means anything.
It means that if anyone thinks they know something they do not know it as well as they should know it.
What of the words of Agur(Gatherer) the son of Jakeh(Blameless) in Proverbs 30:1-3?
Proverbs 30:1-3 The words of Agur the son of Jakeh, even the prophecy: the man spake unto Ithiel, even unto Ithiel and Ucal, 2 Surely I am more brutish than any man, and have not the understanding of a man. 3 I neither learned wisdom, nor have the knowledge of the holy.
True wisdom is to admit we have not learned wisdom and that we do not have knowledge of the holy. That's true wisdom. What I'm saying is that there is no end to the things that God may reveal. For now we see as if through a mirror dimly ... (1 Corinthians 13:12) It is in heaven where people know everything they want to know. On earth; not so.
And the scriptures are not easy to understand otherwise everyone would believe. But it says "And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not." (Isaiah 6:9) Yes Jesus foretold them all things but these are only revealed through the holy Spirit. Without the holy Spirit showing them; people are not going to see.
Seeing that you only pick out 1 to 3 verses
out of Proverbs chapter 30, And try to build a whole mountain off of them, unto which will not work. Not with me any how.
Had you read the whole chapter 30 of Proverbs, you would haved found out that
A-gur is in the giving Prophecy, about a generation, that would come cursing their father and mother.
Unto which we are now in that generation.
That A-gur gave Prophecy about.
As for wisdom and knowledge, comes by studing the word of God, For every word of God is pure, God is a shield unto them that puts their trust in God.
For wisdom stand by for them that seek wisdom and knowledge from God.
For wisdom and knowledge comes by God that seek God.
But as for the wicked they have no wisdom or knowledge, the wicked rise up early to do evil.
Again had you read the whole Chapter 13
of 1st Corinthians, you would haved found Paul is speaking about ( Love )
That a person can have wisdom and knowledge, But without ( Love ) they are nothing.
As for 1st Corinthians 13:12, Had you back up to verse 11, and then read down, You would haved found Paul speaking about being as a child, we do childish things,
But when get older, we put off the childish things that we once did.
That now we see through a glass darkly, For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a does, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass, for he beholds himself, And goes his way, and straightway
for getting what manner of man he was.
For out of wisdom and knowledge flows these three ( Faith ) ( Hope ) ( Love )
But the greatest of these is ( Love )
As for Isaiah 6:9, is speaking about the people of Israel, how they got lazy and turned away from their God.
So God sent Isaiah to his people Israel, to turn them back to their God.
Therefore God said unto Isaiah Go, and tell this people, Hear you indeed, But understand not, and see you indeed, but perceive not.
The people of Israel hears but they can not perceive what is being said to them.
As it is, people to day are the same, that they hear the word of God, but can not understand what they are reading.
But as it is, even to day people haved harden their hearts of not hearing nor seeing, but haved turned away from God
So that now they curse what they don't understand and speak evil against those things which they don't understand.
That is correct, Jesus did in fact, foretold all things.
When Jesus spoke those words, have you any idea as to who Jesus was in the speaking to ?
Your right, That without the Holy Spirit of God, people are not and will not make any sense of the scriptures.
Thereby "The Scriptures are hard to Understand"
For them that have not the Spirit of God.
For this reason I ask people, that in the book of Mark 13, that Jesus foretold what the Blasphemy of the Spirit is.
And when it will happen, and by who can commit it.
Now without the Spirit of God, seeing they will not see, and hearing, they will not hear what the Spirit of God is saying.
What the Blasphemy of the Spirit of God is
And when it will happen.
And by who can commit it.
