Isaiah 29:14-16
Amplified Bible
14
Therefore, listen carefully, I will again do marvelous and amazing things with this people, wonderful and astonishing things;
And the wisdom of their wise men will perish,
And the understanding of their discerning men will be hidden.”
15
Woe (judgment is coming) to those who [try to] deeply hide their plans from the Lord,
Whose deeds are done in a dark place,
And who say, “Who sees us?” or “Who knows us?”
16
You turn things upside down [with your perversity]!
Shall the potter be considered equal with the clay,
That the thing that is made would say to its maker, “He did not make me”;
Or the thing that is formed say to him who formed it, “He has no understanding”?
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”?
