Those whom God wishes to destroy, he first makes mad?

Those whom God wishes to destroy, He makes them mad first. ?

No. You can capitalise "He" if you want to, but keep the word order.
You should be able to see this if it's expressed as below:
"God first makes [STRIKE]them[/STRIKE] mad those whom He wishes to destroy."

And that is "mad" as in "crazy," not "angry."

I believe that even a capital letter is inappropriate. This is a quote from a classical (polytheistic) source, I'm pretty sure: 'Those whom the gods wish to destroy, they first make mad.' (And yes, crazy not angry -'mad' didn't mean that in the Ancient World! ;-)
