Isaiah 29:13-15
Holman Christian Standard Bible
Isaiah 29:13-15
Holman Christian Standard Bible
13 The Lord said:
Because these people approach Me with their mouths(A)
to honor Me with lip-service[a]—
yet their hearts are far from Me,
and their worship consists of man-made rules
learned by rote—
14 therefore I will again confound these people
with wonder after wonder.(B)
The wisdom of their wise men will vanish,(C)
and the understanding of the 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 darkness,
and say, “Who sees us? Who knows us?”(E)

Isaiah 29:13-15
New International Version
13 The 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)
14 Therefore 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)”
15 Woe to those who go to great depths
to hide(H) their plans from the Lord,
who do their work in darkness and think,
“Who sees us?(I) Who will know?”(J)
