13 Then the Lord said,

“Because (A)this people approaches Me with their [a]words
And honors Me with their lips,
But their heart is far away from Me,
And their [b]reverence for Me [c]consists of the commandment of men that is taught;
14 Therefore behold, I will once again deal (B)marvelously with this people, wondrously marvelous;
And (C)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 (D)hide their [d]plans from the Lord,
And whose (E)deeds are done in a dark place,
And they say, “(F)Who sees us?” or “Who knows us?”
