Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid.

The verse 14 is found in chapter 29 of Isaiah. Ariel, the poetic name for Jerusalem, will be surrounded and humbled, but will later experience an unexpected intervention. The people honor God with their lips while their hearts remain far from him. The criticism therefore reaches a formal religiosity that does not correspond to inner obedience.

so will ich auch mit diesem Volk wunderlich umgehen, aufs wunderlichste und seltsamste, daß die Weisheit seiner Weisen untergehe und der Verstand seiner Klugen verblendet werde.
Por tanto, he aquí que nuevamente excitaré yo la admiración de este pueblo con un prodigio grande y espantoso; porque perecerá la sabiduría de sus sabios, y se desvanecerá la prudencia de sus prudentes.
C'est pourquoi je frapperai encore ce peuple Par des prodiges et des miracles; Et la sagesse de ses sages périra, Et l'intelligence de ses hommes intelligents disparaîtra.
perciò, ecco, io continuerò a fare inverso questo popolo maraviglie grandi, e stupende; e la sapienza de’ suoi savi perirà, e l’intendimento de’ suoi intendenti si nasconderà.
Portanto eis que continuarei a fazer uma obra maravilhosa no meio deste povo, uma obra maravilhosa e um assombro; porque a sabedoria dos seus sábios perecerá, e o entendimento dos seus prudentes se esconderá.
所以,看哪,我要在這百姓中行奇妙的事, 就是奇妙又奇妙的事。 他們智慧人的智慧必然消滅, 聰明人的聰明必然消失。」
