Isaiah 29:15-21
King James Version
Isaiah 29:15-21
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?
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.

Isaiah 29:15-21
New International Version
Isaiah 29:15-21
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)
17 In a very short time,(H) will not Lebanon(I) be turned into a fertile field(J)
and the fertile field seem like a forest?(K)
18 In that day(L) the deaf(M) will hear the words of the scroll,
and out of gloom and darkness(N)
the eyes of the blind will see.(O)
19 Once more the humble(P) will rejoice in the Lord;
the needy(Q) will rejoice in the Holy One(R) of Israel.
20 The ruthless(S) will vanish,(T)
the mockers(U) will disappear,
and all who have an eye for evil(V) will be cut down—
21 those who with a word make someone out to be guilty,
who ensnare the defender in court(W)
and with false testimony(X) deprive the innocent of justice.(Y)
