Context
10Bwana amewaleteeni usingizi mzito:
Ameziba macho yenu (ninyi manabii);
amefunika vichwa vyenu (ninyi waonaji). 11Kwa maana kwenu ninyi, maono haya yote si kitu ila maneno yaliyotiwa lakiri katika kitabu. Kama mkimpa mtu yeyote awezaye kusoma kitabu hiki, nanyi mkamwambia, “Tafadhali kisome,” yeye atajibu, “Mimi siwezi, kwa kuwa kimetiwa lakiri.” 12Au kama mkimpa mtu yeyote kitabu hiki asiyeweza kusoma na kumwambia, “Tafadhali kisome,” atajibu, “Mimi sijui kusoma.” 13Bwana anasema:
“Watu hawa hunikaribia kwa vinywa vyao
na kuniheshimu kwa midomo yao,
lakini mioyo yao iko mbali nami.
Ibada yao kwangu inatokana na maagizo
waliyofundishwa na wanadamu. 14Kwa hiyo mara nyingine tena nitawashangaza watu hawa,
kwa ajabu juu ya ajabu.
Hekima ya wenye hekima itapotea,
nayo akili ya wenye akili itatoweka.”
