Isaiah 29:14-16
English Standard Version
14 therefore, behold, (A)I will again
do wonderful things with this people,
with wonder upon wonder;
and (B)the wisdom of their wise men shall perish,
and the discernment of their discerning men shall be hidden.”
15 Ah, (C)you who hide deep from the Lord your counsel,
whose deeds are (D)in the dark,
and who say, “Who sees us? Who knows us?”
16 (E)You turn things upside down!
Shall the potter be regarded as the clay,
that the thing made should say of its maker,
“He did not make me”;
or the thing formed say of him who formed it,
“He has no understanding”?
Isaiah 29:14-16
New Living Translation
14 Because of this, I will once again astound these hypocrites
with amazing wonders.
The wisdom of the wise will pass away,
and the intelligence of the intelligent will disappear.”
15 What sorrow awaits those who try to hide their plans from the Lord,
who do their evil deeds in the dark!
“The Lord can’t see us,” they say.
“He doesn’t know what’s going on!”
16 How foolish can you be?
He is the Potter, and he is certainly greater than you, the clay!
Should the created thing say of the one who made it,
“He didn’t make me”?
Does a jar ever say,
“The potter who made me is stupid”?
