Moraino describes being made or becoming foolish, and in salt comparisons a loss of its useful character.

The human examples describe God making the world's wisdom foolish and people becoming fools while claiming wisdom; the salt comparisons use the term for a condition in which salt no longer has its former usefulness.

   In 1 Corinthians 1:20, the aorist active singular form occurs in the question whether God has made the wisdom of the world foolish. In Romans 1:22, the aorist passive plural form describes people who claim wisdom and become fools.

2. Salt losing its useful quality · common

   The aorist passive subjunctive form appears in conditional statements about salt in Matthew 5:13 and Luke 14:34. In Matthew 5:13 the APB renders the condition “the salt becomes foolish” and says it has no strength any longer; in Luke 14:34 it renders the same condition as salt becoming “tasteless.”

   Matthew 5:13Luke 14:34

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB renders the human contexts with “foolish” and “fools.” In the salt contexts it varies between “becomes foolish” and “becomes tasteless”; This variation should not by itself define separate meanings.
