Isaias

Hebrew Bible

Hebrew Bible, Isaias, Ottley, Cambridge, 1904

13 And the Lord said, F orasmuch as this people draweth near, honoureth me with its mouth and with its lips; and hath removed its heart away from me; and their fear of me is a precept of men, that is taught:

14 Therefore, behold, I am he that will again deal wonderquy with this people, wonderfully and a wonder; and the wisdom of its wise men shall perish, andthe discernment of its discerning men shall hide itself.

15 Ah, they that go deep from the Lord to hide counsel and their-works are in darkness, and they say, Who seeth us? and Who knoweth us?

16 The perverseness of you! shall the potter be reckoned as clay? that the thing made should say of him that made it, He made me not! and the thing formed of him that formed it, ’ discerneth not!
