Isaiah 29:11-14
English Standard Version
11 And the vision of all this has become to you like the words of a book that is (A)sealed. When men give it to one who can read, saying, “Read this,” he says, “I cannot, for it is sealed.” 12 And when they give the book to one who cannot read, saying, “Read this,” he says, “I cannot read.”
13 And the Lord said:
“Because (B)this people (C)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, (D)I will again
do wonderful things with this people,
with wonder upon wonder;
and (E)the wisdom of their wise men shall perish,
and the discernment of their discerning men shall be hidden.”
