Isaiah 29:13-14
New American Standard Bible
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.”

Isaiah 29:13-14
Amplified Bible
13 Then the Lord said,
“Because this nation approaches [Me only] with their words
And honors Me [only] with their lip service,
But they remove their hearts far from Me,
And their reverence for Me is a tradition that is learned by rote [without any regard for its meaning],
14
Therefore, listen carefully, I will again do marvelous and amazing things with this people, wonderful and astonishing things;
And the wisdom of their wise men will perish,
And the understanding of their discerning men will be hidden.”
