Isaiah 29:13 - Forerunner Commentary

Isaiah 29:13

11 The whole vision has become to you like the words of a¹ book ^athat is sealed, which men deliver to one who is literate, saying, “Read this, please.” ^bAnd he says, “I cannot, for it is sealed.”

12 Then the book is delivered to one who¹ is illiterate, saying, “Read this, please.” And he says, “I am not literate.”

13 Therefore the Lord said:
^a“Inasmuch as these people draw near with their mouths
And honor Me ^bwith their lips,
But have removed their hearts far from Me,
And their fear toward Me is taught by the commandment of men,

14 ^aTherefore, behold, I will again do a marvelous work
Among this people,
A marvelous work and a wonder;
^bFor the wisdom of their wise men shall perish,
And the understanding of their prudent men shall be hidden.”

15 ^aWoe to those who seek deep to hide their counsel far from the Lord,
And their works are in the dark;
^bThey say, “Who sees us?” and, “Who knows us?”
