Isaiah 29:13-16

13Then the Lord said, “Because 1this people approaches Me with their 2words And honors Me with their lips, But their heart is far away from Me, And their 3reverence for Me 4consists of the commandment of men that is taught;14Therefore behold, I will once again deal 5marvelously with this people, wondrously marvelous; And 6the wisdom of their wise men will perish, And the understanding of their men who have understanding will be concealed.”

15Woe to those who deeply 7hide their 8plans from the Lord, And whose 9deeds are done in a dark place, And they say, “10Who sees us?” or “Who knows us?”16You turn things around! Shall the potter be considered 11as equal with the clay, That 12what is made would say to its maker, “He did not make me”; Or what is formed say to him who formed it, “He has no understanding”?
