Isaiah 29:13-21
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 29
13
Then the Lord said,
'Because this people approaches
Me
with their words
And honors Me with their lips,
But their heart is far away from Me,
And their reverence for Me consists of
the
commandment of men that is taught;
14
Therefore behold, I will once again deal marvelously with this people, wondrously marvelous;
And the wisdom of their wise men will perish,
And the understanding of their men who have understanding will be concealed.'
15
Woe to those who deeply hide their plans from the
Lord
,
And whose deeds are
done
in a dark place,
And they say, 'Who sees us?' or 'Who knows us?'
16
You turn
things
around!
Shall the potter be considered as equal with the clay,
That what is made would say to its maker, 'He did not make me';
Or what is formed say to him who formed it, 'He has no understanding'?
17
Is it not yet just a little while
Before Lebanon will be turned into a fertile field,
And the fertile field will be considered as a forest?
18
On that day those who are deaf will hear words of a book,
And out of
their
gloom and darkness the eyes of those who are blind will see.
19
The afflicted also will increase their joy in the
Lord
,
And the needy of mankind will rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
20
For the ruthless will come to an end and the scorner will be finished,
Indeed all who are intent on doing evil will be eliminated,
21
Who cause a person to be indicted by a word,
And set a trap for the arbitrator at the gate,
And defraud the one in the right with meaningless arguments.
King James Version
Chapter 29
13
Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:
14
Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid.
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?
18
And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity, and out of darkness.
19
The meek also shall increase their joy in the
Lord
, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
20
For the terrible one is brought to nought, and the scorner is consumed, and all that watch for iniquity are cut off:
21
That make a man an offender for a word, and lay a snare for him that reproveth in the gate, and turn aside the just for a thing of nought.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 29
13
The Lord said:
These people approach me with their speeches
to honor me with lip-service —
yet their hearts are far from me,
and human rules direct their worship of me.
14
Therefore, I will again confound these people
with wonder after wonder.
The wisdom of their wise will vanish,
and the perception of their perceptive will be hidden.
15
Woe to those who go to great lengths
to hide their plans from the
Lord
.
They do their works in the dark,
and say, "Who sees us? Who knows us?"
16
You have turned things around,
as if the potter were the same as the clay.
How can what is made say about its maker,
"He didn’t make me"?
How can what is formed
say about the one who formed it,
"He doesn’t understand what he’s doing"?
17
Isn’t it true that in just a little while
Lebanon will become an orchard,
and the orchard will seem like a forest?
18
On that day the deaf will hear
the words of a document,
and out of a deep darkness
the eyes of the blind will see.
19
The humble will have joy
after joy in the
Lord
,
and the poor people will rejoice
in the Holy One of Israel.
20
For the ruthless one will vanish,
the scorner will disappear,
and all those who lie in wait with evil intent
will be killed—
21
those who, with their speech,
accuse a person of wrongdoing,
who set a trap for the one mediating at the city gate
and without cause deprive the righteous of justice.
New Living Translation
Chapter 29
13
And so the Lord says,
'These people say they are mine.
They honor me with their lips,
but their hearts are far from me.
And their worship of me
is nothing but man-made rules learned by rote.
14
Because of this, I will once again astound these hypocrites
with amazing wonders.
The wisdom of the wise will pass away,
and the intelligence of the intelligent will disappear.'
15
What sorrow awaits those who try to hide their plans from the
Lord
,
who do their evil deeds in the dark!
'The
Lord
can’t see us,' they say.
'He doesn’t know what’s going on!'
16
How foolish can you be?
He is the Potter, and he is certainly greater than you, the clay!
Should the created thing say of the one who made it,
'He didn’t make me'?
Does a jar ever say,
'The potter who made me is stupid'?
17
Soon — and it will not be very long —
the forests of Lebanon will become a fertile field,
and the fertile field will yield bountiful crops.
18
In that day the deaf will hear words read from a book,
and the blind will see through the gloom and darkness.
19
The humble will be filled with fresh joy from the
Lord
.
The poor will rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
20
The scoffer will be gone,
the arrogant will disappear,
and those who plot evil will be killed.
21
Those who convict the innocent
by their false testimony will disappear.
A similar fate awaits those who use trickery to pervert justice
and who tell lies to destroy the innocent.
English Standard Version
Chapter 29
13
And the Lord said:
"Because this people draw near with their mouth
and honor me with their lips,
while their hearts are far from me,
and their fear of me is a commandment taught by men,
14
therefore, behold, I will again
do wonderful things with this people,
with wonder upon wonder;
and the wisdom of their wise men shall perish,
and the discernment of their discerning men shall be hidden."
15
Ah, you who hide deep from the
Lord
your counsel,
whose deeds are in the dark,
and who say, "Who sees us? Who knows us?"
16
You turn things upside down!
Shall the potter be regarded as the clay,
that the thing made should say of its maker,
"He did not make me";
or the thing formed say of him who formed it,
"He has no understanding"?
17
Is it not yet a very little while
until Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field,
and the fruitful field shall be regarded as a forest?
18
In that day the deaf shall hear
the words of a book,
and out of their gloom and darkness
the eyes of the blind shall see.
19
The meek shall obtain fresh joy in the
Lord
,
and the poor among mankind shall exult in the Holy One of Israel.
20
For the ruthless shall come to nothing
and the scoffer cease,
and all who watch to do evil shall be cut off,
21
who by a word make a man out to be an offender,
and lay a snare for him who reproves in the gate,
and with an empty plea turn aside him who is in the right.
New International Version
Chapter 29
13
The Lord says:
"These people come near to me with their mouth
and honor me with their lips,
but their hearts are far from me.
Their worship of me
is based on merely human rules they have been taught.
14
Therefore once more I will astound these people
with wonder upon wonder;
the wisdom of the wise will perish,
the intelligence of the intelligent will vanish."
15
Woe to those who go to great depths
to hide their plans from the
Lord
,
who do their work in darkness and think,
"Who sees us? Who will know?"
16
You turn things upside down,
as if the potter were thought to be like the clay!
Shall what is formed say to the one who formed it,
"You did not make me"?
Can the pot say to the potter,
"You know nothing"?
17
In a very short time, will not Lebanon be turned into a fertile field
and the fertile field seem like a forest?
18
In that day the deaf will hear the words of the scroll,
and out of gloom and darkness
the eyes of the blind will see.
19
Once more the humble will rejoice in the
Lord
;
the needy will rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
20
The ruthless will vanish,
the mockers will disappear,
and all who have an eye for evil will be cut down—
21
those who with a word make someone out to be guilty,
who ensnare the defender in court
and with false testimony deprive the innocent of justice.
New King James Version
Chapter 29
13
Therefore the Lord said:
“Inasmuch as these people draw near with their mouths
And honor Me with their lips,
But have removed their hearts far from Me,
And their fear toward Me is taught by the commandment of men,
14
Therefore, behold, I will again do a marvelous work
Among this people,
A marvelous work and a wonder;
For the wisdom of their wise
men
shall perish,
And the understanding of their prudent
men
shall be hidden.”
15
Woe to those who seek deep to hide their counsel far from the
Lord
,
And their works are in the dark;
They say, “Who sees us?” and, “Who knows us?”
16
Surely you have things turned around!
Shall the potter be esteemed as the clay;
For shall the thing made say of him who made it,
“He did not make me”?
Or shall the thing formed say of him who formed it,
“He has no understanding”?
17
Is
it not yet a very little while
Till Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field,
And the fruitful field be esteemed as a forest?
18
In that day the deaf shall hear the words of the book,
And the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity and out of darkness.
19
The humble also shall increase
their
joy in the
Lord
,
And the poor among men shall rejoice
In the Holy One of Israel.
20
For the terrible one is brought to nothing,
The scornful one is consumed,
And all who watch for iniquity are cut off—
21
Who make a man an offender by a word,
And lay a snare for him who reproves in the gate,
And turn aside the just by empty words.
