Lexham English Bible
Isaiah 29:14-16
Lexham English Bible
14 therefore look, I am again doing something spectacular
and a spectacle with this spectacular people.
And the wisdom of its wise men shall perish,
and the discernment of its discerning ones shall keep itself hidden.”
15 Ah! Those who make a plan deep, to hide it from Yahweh,
and their deeds are[a] in a dark place.
And they say, “Who sees us?
And who knows us?”
16 Your perversity!
As if a potter[b] shall be regarded as the clay!
That the product of its maker says,
“He did not make me,”
and the thing made into shape says of its potter,[c]
“He has no understanding.”

“You know nothing”?(J)
