## The word δρασσομενος (catching) is not present in the LXX, except in the book of Sirach (an apocryph), 34:1-3:
## 1 κεναι ελπιδες και ψευδεις ασυνετω ανδρι και ενυπνια αναπτερουσιν αφρονας
## 2 ως δρασσομενος σκιας και διωκων ανεμον ουτως ο επεχων ενυπνιοις
## 3 τουτο κατα τουτου ορασις ενυπνιων κατεναντι προσωπου ομοιωμα προσωπου
## This seems to have nothing to do with I_Corinthians 3:19.

## Conclusion. The matching text "σοφους εν τη" (wise with/in the) is very short and even if Job 5:13 contains
## the only occurence in the LXX, the match is questionable. Also the two other words
## "πανουργια" (craftiness) and "αυτων" (of them) are contextually somewhat different: in LXX
## the word "πανουργων" (of clever ones) is used. I support that Paul either wants to quote a different
## passage (that is lost), or refers to a different version of Job 5:12-13 (that is lost), or,
## very exclusively, his "γεγραπται γαρ" introduces a free quotation of Job's text.
## Actually, the meaning of Job 5:12-13 and I_Corinthians 3:19 are very close, so, instead of
## literal matching, a contextual match is easier to find.
