Isaiah 29:13-19
Christian Standard Bible
13 The Lord said:
These people approach me with their speeches(A)
to honor me with lip-service,[a]
yet their hearts are far from me,
and human rules direct their worship of me.[b]
14 Therefore, I will again confound these people
with wonder after wonder.(B)
The wisdom of their wise will vanish,(C)
and the perception of their perceptive will be hidden.
15 Woe to those who go to great lengths
to hide their plans from the Lord.(D)
They do their works in the dark,
and say, “Who sees us? Who knows us?” (E)
16 You have turned things around,
as if the potter were the same as the clay.
How can what is made say about its maker,
“He didn’t make me”?(F)
How can what is formed
say about the one who formed it,
“He doesn’t understand what he’s doing”?
17 Isn’t it true that in just a little while
Lebanon will become an orchard,
and the orchard will seem like a forest?(G)
18 On that day the deaf will hear(H)
the words of a document,
and out of a deep darkness
the eyes of the blind will see.
19 The humble will have joy
after joy in the Lord,
and the poor people will rejoice(I)
in the Holy One of Israel.(J)
