11All vision is become to you as the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one who is learned, saying, Read this, I pray you; and he says, I can`t, for it is sealed:
12and the book is delivered to him who is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray you; and he says, I am not learned.
13The Lord said, Because this people draw near [to me], and with their mouth and with their lips to honor me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear of me is a commandment of men which has been taught [them];
14therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvelous work among this people, even a marvelous work and a wonder; and the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid.
15Woe to those who hide deep their counsel from Yahweh, and whose works are in the dark, and who say, Who sees us? and who knows us?
16You turn things upside down! Shall the potter be esteemed as clay; that the thing made should say of him who made it, He didn`t make me; or the thing formed say of him who formed it, He has no understanding?
