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,
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.”
And their works are in the dark;
bThey say, “Who sees us?” and, “Who knows us?”
Shall the potter be esteemed as the clay;
For shall the athing made say of him who made it,
“He did not make me”?
Or shall the thing formed say of him who formed it,
“He has no understanding”?

Till aLebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field,
And the fruitful field be esteemed as a forest?
And the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity and out of darkness.
And bthe poor among men shall rejoice
In the Holy One of Israel.
aThe scornful one is consumed,
And all who bwatch for iniquity are cut off—
And alay a snare for him who reproves in the gate,
And turn aside the just bby empty words.
“Jacob shall not now be bashamed,
Nor shall his face now grow pale;
aThe work of My hands, in his midst,
They will hallow My name,
And hallow the Holy One of Jacob,
And fear the God of Israel.
And those who complained will learn doctrine.”
