Isaiah 29:13-15

Lexham English Bible

“Because this people draw near with its mouth,
    and with its lips it honors me,
and its heart is far from me,
    and their fear of me is a commandment of men that has been taught,

and a spectacle with this spectacular people.
And the wisdom of its wise men shall perish,
    and the discernment of its discerning ones shall keep itself hidden.”
¹⁵ Ah! Those who make a plan deep, to hide it from Yahweh,
    and their deeds are^[a] in a dark place.
And they say, “Who sees us?
    And who knows us?”
