Isaiah 29:11-14
New King James Version
11 The whole vision has become to you like the words of a [a]book (A)that is sealed, which men deliver to one who is literate, saying, “Read this, please.”
(B)And he says, “I cannot, for it is sealed.”
12 Then the book is delivered to one who [b]is illiterate, saying, “Read this, please.”
And he says, “I am not literate.”
13 Therefore the Lord said:
(C)“Inasmuch as these people draw near with their mouths
And honor Me (D)with their lips,
But have removed their hearts far from Me,
And their fear toward Me is taught by the commandment of men,
14 (E)Therefore, behold, I will again do a marvelous work
Among this people,
A marvelous work and a wonder;
(F)For the wisdom of their wise men shall perish,
And the understanding of their prudent men shall be hidden.”
