14 So [L look; T behold] I will continue to ·amaze [astound] these people
    by doing more and more ·miracles [wonders].
·Their wise men will lose their wisdom [L The wisdom of the wise will perish];
    ·their wise men will not be able to understand [L the discernment of the discerning will disappear; 1 Cor. 1:19].”

15 ·How terrible it will be for [L Woe to] those who ·try
    to hide [deeply hide; or hide too deep to see] ·things [plans; counsel] from the Lord
and who do their work in darkness.
    They ·think no one will see them or know what they do [L say, “Who sees us? Who knows us?”].
16 You ·are confused [L turn things upside down!].
    You think the clay is equal to the potter.
·You think that an object can [or Should the thing formed…?] tell the one who made it,
    “You didn’t make me [10:15; Rom. 9:20].”
This is like a pot telling ·its maker [the potter],
    “You don’t ·know anything [understand].”
