Isaiah 29:13-14

New International Version

¹³The Lord says:

“These people^(A) come near to me with their mouth
    and honor me with their lips,^(B)
    but their hearts are far from me.^(C)
Their worship of me
    is based on merely human rules they have been taught.^[a]^(D)
¹⁴Therefore once more I will astound these people
    with wonder upon wonder;^(E)
the wisdom of the wise^(F) will perish,
    the intelligence of the intelligent will vanish.^(G)”
