Isaiah 29:13-15

Christian Standard Bible

¹³The Lord said:

to honor me with lip-service,^[a]
yet their hearts are far from me,
and human rules direct their worship of me.^[b]
¹⁴Therefore, I will again confound these people
with wonder after wonder.^(B)

and the perception of their perceptive will be hidden.

¹⁵Woe 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)
