Isaiah 29:13-15
International Standard Version
A Rebuke of Hypocritical Worship
13 Then the Lord said:
“Because these people draw near with their mouths
and honor me with their lips,
but their hearts are far from me,
worship of me[a] has become
merely like[b] rules taught by human beings.
14 Therefore, watch out!
“As for me,[c] I will once again
do amazing things with this people,
wonder upon wonder.
The wisdom of their wise men will perish,
and the insights[d] of their discerning men will stay hidden.”
A Rebuke to the Deceptive
15 “How terrible it will be for you who go to great depths
to hide your plans from the Lord,
you whose deeds have been[e] done[f] in the dark,
and who say, ‘Who can see us?
Who has recognized[g] us?’
