Isaiah 29:11-13
International Standard Version
11 “And this entire vision has become for you like the words of a sealed book. When people give it to someone who can read, and say, ‘Read this, please,’ he answers,[a] ‘I cannot, because it is sealed.’ 12 Or when they give the book[b] to someone who cannot read, and say, ‘Read this, please,’ he answers,[c] ‘I don’t know how to read.’”
A Rebuke of Hypocritical Worship
13 Then the Lord said:
“Because these people draw near with their mouths
and honor me with their lips,
but their hearts are far from me,
worship of me[d] has become
merely like[e] rules taught by human beings.
