Isaiah 29:13-16

Isaiah 29:13-16 CEV

The Lord has said: “These people praise me with their words, but they never really think about me. They worship me by repeating rules made up by humans. So once again I will do things that shock and amaze them, and I will destroy the wisdom of those who claim to know and understand.” You are in for trouble, if you try to hide your plans from the LORD! Or if you think what you do in the dark can't be seen. You have it all backwards. A clay dish doesn't say to the potter, “You didn't make me. You don't even know how.”
