Isaiah 29:13-14
New King James Version
13 Therefore the Lord said:
(A)“Inasmuch as these people draw near with their mouths
And honor Me (B)with their lips,
But have removed their hearts far from Me,
And their fear toward Me is taught by the commandment of men,
14 (C)Therefore, behold, I will again do a marvelous work
Among this people,
A marvelous work and a wonder;
(D)For the wisdom of their wise men shall perish,
And the understanding of their prudent men shall be hidden.”
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.”
Isaiah 29:13-14
King James Version
13 Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:
14 Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid.
