Isaiah 29:14-16
New King James Version
14 (A)Therefore, behold, I will again do a marvelous work
Among this people,
A marvelous work and a wonder;
(B)For the wisdom of their wise men shall perish,
And the understanding of their prudent men shall be hidden.”
15 (C)Woe to those who seek deep to hide their counsel far from the Lord,
And their works are in the dark;
(D)They say, “Who sees us?” and, “Who knows us?”
16 Surely you have things turned around!
Shall the potter be esteemed as the clay;
For shall the (E)thing made say of him who made it,
“He did not make me”?
Or shall the thing formed say of him who formed it,
“He has no understanding”?
Isaiah 29:14-16
Authorized (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?
