Isaiah 29:14 in Context — Isaiah 29

12 E quando se dá o livro a alguém que não saiba ler, dizendo: Lê isto, por favor; Esse dirá: Não sei ler.

13 Pois o Senhor disse: Visto que este povo se aproxima [de mim] com a boca, e me honram com seus lábios, porém seus corações se afastam de mim, e [fingem que] me temem por meio de mandamentos humanos que aprendem;

14 Por isso, eis que continuarei a fazer coisas espantosas com este povo; coisas espantosas e surpreendentes; porque a sabedoria de seus sábios perecerá, e a inteligência dos inteligentes se esconderá.

15 Ai dos que querem se esconder do SENHOR, encobrindo [suas] intenções; e fazem suas obras às escuras, e dizem: Quem nos vê? Quem nos conhece?

16 [Como é grande] vossa perversão! Pode, por acaso, o oleiro ser considerado igual ao barro? Pode a obra dizer de seu criador que “ele não me fez”? Ou o vaso formado dizer de seu formador: “Ele nada entende”?
