Isaiah 29:14-16
New American Standard Bible
14 Therefore behold, I will once again deal (A)marvelously with this people, wondrously marvelous;
And (B)the wisdom of their wise men will perish,
And the understanding of their men who have understanding will be concealed.”
15 Woe to those who deeply (C)hide their [a]plans from the Lord,
And whose (D)deeds are done in a dark place,
And they say, “(E)Who sees us?” or “Who knows us?”
16 You turn things around!
Shall the potter be considered [b]as equal with the clay,
That (F)what 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”?

Isaiah 29:14-16
New International Version
14 Therefore once more I will astound these people
with wonder upon wonder;(A)
the wisdom of the wise(B) will perish,
the intelligence of the intelligent will vanish.(C)”
15 Woe to those who go to great depths
to hide(D) their plans from the Lord,
who do their work in darkness and think,
“Who sees us?(E) Who will know?”(F)
16 You turn things upside down,
as if the potter were thought to be like the clay!(G)
Shall what is formed say to the one who formed(H) it,
“You did not make me”?
Can the pot say to the potter,(I)
“You know nothing”?(J)
Isaiah 29:14-16
King James Version
14 Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid.
15 Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the Lord, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us?
16 Surely your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter's clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, He had no understanding?
