Isaiah 29:15-17

New Catholic Bible

¹⁵ Woe to those who go to extreme measures
    to conceal their plans from the Lord,
who perpetrate their evil deeds in the dark,
    saying, “Who sees us? Who knows where we are?”
¹⁶ Such people are truly perverse.
    Is the potter no better than the clay?
Can what is made say of its maker,
    “He did not make me”?
Can a pot say of the potter,
    “He really has no particular skill”?

¹⁷ It will be but a very short time
    before Lebanon will become a fertile field
    and its orchards will be regarded as forests.
