12. When you give it to those who cannot read, they will say, “We don’t know how to read.”
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 meis nothing but man-made rules learned by rote.
14. Because of this, I will once again astound these hypocriteswith 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!”
