The Magi's saying reminds me of Jesus' injunction against the Pharisees in John 8. Declaring God to be their father, they despise His words and prove themselves the children of Satan. Proverbs 1:8-9 is the welcome antidote to this disposition.
"The heart of the wise teacheth his mouth, and addeth learning to his lips. Pleasant words are as honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones."
