13 ¶ Wherefore yahawah said, Forasmuch as this people draw neere mee with their mouth, and with their lips doe honour me, but haue remoued their heart farre from me, and their feare towards mee is taught by the precept of men:
14 Therefore behold, I will proceed to do a marueilous worke amongst this people, euen a marueilous worke and a wonder: for the wisedome of their wise men shall perish, and the vnderstanding of their prudent men shall be hid.
15 Woe vnto them that seeke deepe to hide their counsell from yahawah, and their workes are in the darke, and they say, Who seeth vs? and who knoweth vs?
16 Surely your turning of things vpside downe shall be esteemed as the potters clay: for shall the worke say of him that made it, He made me not? or shall the thing framed, say of him that framed it, He had no vnderstanding?
17 Is it not yet a very litle while, and Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitfull field shall be esteemed as a forrest?
18 ¶ And in that day shall the deafe heare the words of the booke, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscuritie, and out of darkenesse.
19 The meeke also shall increase their ioy in yahawah, and the poore among men shall reioice in the holy One of Israel.
20 For the terrible one is brought to nought, and the scorner is consumed, and all that watch for iniquitie are cut off:
21 That make a man an offendour for a word, and lay a snare for him that reproueth in the gate, and turne aside the iust for a thing of nought.
22 Therefore thus saith yahawah who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Iacob: Iacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall his face now waxe pale.
23 But when hee seeth his children the worke of mine hands in the midst of him, they shall sanctifie my Name, and sanctifie the Holy One of Iacob, and shall feare the power of Israel.
24 They also that erred in spirit shall come to vnderstanding, and they that murmured, shall learne doctrine.
