Isaiah 29:15-17
1599 Geneva Bible
15 Woe unto them that [a]seek deep to hide their counsel from the Lord: for their works are in darkness, and they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us?
16 Your turning of devices shall it not be esteemed [b]as the potter’s clay? for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? or the thing formed, say of him that fashioned it, He had none understanding?
17 Is it not yet but a little while, and Lebanon shall be [c]turned into Carmel? and Carmel shall be counted as a forest?
