Isaiah 29:15-17

Modern English Version

¹⁵ Woe to those who deeply
    hide their counsel from the Lord
and whose works are done in the dark, and they say,
    “Who sees us?” and “Who knows us?”
¹⁶ Surely you turn things upside down!
    Shall the potter be esteemed as the potter’s clay?
Shall what is made say to its maker,
    “He did not make me”?
Or shall the thing formed say to him who formed it,
    “He has no understanding”?

¹⁷ Is it not yet a very little while before Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field,
    and the fruitful field shall be counted as a forest?
