13 The Lord said:

These people approach me with their speeches(A)
to honor me with lip-service,[a]
yet their hearts are far from me,
and human rules direct their worship of me.[b]
14 Therefore, I will again confound these people
with wonder after wonder.(B)
The wisdom of their wise will vanish,(C)
and the perception of their perceptive will be hidden.

15 Woe to those who go to great lengths
to hide their plans from the Lord.(D)
They do their works in the dark,
and say, “Who sees us? Who knows us?” (E)
