IMO:
Job 26:7, Hebrew חוג = "horizon." The ancients saw ships disappear over the horizon. That does not equate to a circular planet earth.
Isaiah 40:22
It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:

my bad! It was isaiah.

STRONGS H2329:Abbreviations
† חוּג noun [masculine] vault; — only of vault of the heavens חוּג שׁמים התהלך Job 22:14; בְּחֻקֿוֺ חוּג עלֿ תהום פנ׳ Proverbs 8:27; הישֵׁב עַלחֿוּג הארץ Isaiah 40:22.

Job 22:14

King James Version

14 Thick clouds are a covering to him, that he seeth not; and he walketh in the circuit of heaven.

40:22
Gesenius' Hebrew-Chaldee Lexicon [?]
H2329

A circle, sphere, used of the vault or arch of heaven.

I will stick with the experts.

The ancients did not understand the world as we do, but God did and declared it in His Word.

IMO "mind of Christ" (1Corinthians 2:16) indicates "on the right path," not omniscience. See Philippians 3:12-14.
I go with the Words as they were inspired and not anyones opinion!

Transliteration
nous (Key)

KJV Translation Count — Total: 24x

The KJV translates Strong's G3563 in the following manner: mind (17x), understanding (7x).

Outline of Biblical Usage [?]
  1. the mind, comprising alike the faculties of perceiving and understanding and those of feeling, judging, determining
    1. the intellectual faculty, the understanding
    2. reason in the narrower sense, as the capacity for spiritual truth, the higher powers of the soul, the faculty of perceiving divine things, of recognising goodness and of hating evil
    3. the power of considering and judging soberly, calmly and impartially
  2. a particular mode of thinking and judging, i.e thoughts, feelings, purposes, desires

If by right path you are referring to what Paul said in romans 12:

Romans 12

King James Version

12 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

That we learnt o think divine thoughts and act on them, I agree.

But that is not what was written in Corinthians.
