Isaiah 29:12-14
1599 Geneva Bible
12 And the book is given unto him that cannot read, saying, Read this, I pray thee. And he shall say, I cannot read.
13 Therefore the Lord said, Because this people [a]come near unto me with their mouth, and honor me with their lips, but have removed their heart far from me, and their [b]fear toward me was taught by the precept of men,
14 Therefore behold, I will again do a marvelous work in this people, even a marvelous work, and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall [c]perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid.
