Isaiah 29:12-14
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
12 And if it is given to those who cannot read, saying, ‘Read this’, they say, ‘We cannot read.’
13 The Lord said:
Because these people draw near with their mouths
and honour me with their lips,
while their hearts are far from me,
and their worship of me is a human commandment learned by rote;
14 so I will again do
amazing things with this people,
shocking and amazing.
The wisdom of their wise shall perish,
and the discernment of the discerning shall be hidden.
Isaiah 29:12-14
New International Version
Isaiah 29:12-14
New International Version
12 Or if you give the scroll to someone who cannot read, and say, “Read this, please,” they will answer, “I don’t know how to read.”
13 The Lord says:
“These people(A) come near to me with their mouth
and honor me with their lips,(B)
but their hearts are far from me.(C)
Their worship of me
is based on merely human rules they have been taught.[a](D)
14 Therefore once more I will astound these people
with wonder upon wonder;(E)
the wisdom of the wise(F) will perish,
the intelligence of the intelligent will vanish.(G)”
