New Life Version
Isaiah 29:15-17
New Life Version
Hope for the Future
15 It is bad for those who try to hide their plans from the Lord, and whose works are done in a dark place. They say, “Who sees us?” or, “Who knows us?” 16 You turn things up-side-down! Is the pot-maker the same as the clay? Should what is made say to its maker, “He did not make me”? Should what is made say to him who made it, “He has no understanding”?
17 Is it not yet a very little while before Lebanon will be turned into a rich good field? The rich good field will be thought of as being full of many trees.

Isaiah 29:15-17
New International Version
15 Woe to those who go to great depths
to hide(A) their plans from the Lord,
who do their work in darkness and think,
“Who sees us?(B) Who will know?”(C)
16 You turn things upside down,
as if the potter were thought to be like the clay!(D)
Shall what is formed say to the one who formed(E) it,
“You did not make me”?
Can the pot say to the potter,(F)
“You know nothing”?(G)

Isaiah 29:15-17
King James Version
15 Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the Lord, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us?
16 Surely your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter's clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, He had no understanding?
17 Is it not yet a very little while, and Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be esteemed as a forest?
