Isaiah 29:15-17
International Standard Version
A Rebuke to the Deceptive
15 “How terrible it will be for you who go to great depths
to hide your plans from the Lord,
you whose deeds have been[a] done[b] in the dark,
and who say, ‘Who can see us?
Who has recognized[c] us?’
16 He has turned the tables on you[d]—
as if the potter were thought to be like heat.[e]
Can what is made say of the one who made it,
‘He did not make me?’
Or can what is formed say of the ones[f] who formed it,
‘He has no skill?’
17 “In a very little while,
will not Lebanon be turned into a garden of fruit,[g]
and the garden of fruit[h] seem like a forest?
