The wisdom of their wise

13 The Lord says:
Since these people turn toward me with their mouths,
    and honor me with lip service
        while their heart is distant from me,
    and their fear of me is just a human command that has been memorized,
14     I will go on doing amazing things to these people,
        shocking and startling things.
The wisdom of their wise will perish,
    and the discernment of their discerning will be hidden.
15 Doom to those who hide their plan deep, away from the Lord,
    whose deeds are in the dark,
    who say, “Who sees us? Who knows us?”
