They are a nation without sense, there is no discernment in them.

“ For they are a nation void of counsel, and there is no understanding in them.

“ But Israel is a senseless nation; the people are foolish, without understanding.

Israel is a nation lacking sense with no understanding at all.

“ For they are a nation destitute of counsel, And there is no understanding in them.

“ For they are a nation void of counsel, Nor is there any understanding in them.

For they are a nation void of counsel, And there is no understanding in them.

Israel is a nation lacking sense with no understanding at all.

For they[ are] a nation void of counsel, neither[ is there any] understanding in them.

They are a nation devoid of wisdom, and there is no understanding among them.

For they are a nation void of counsel. There is no understanding in them.

The Lord says,“ My people are foolish. They do not know me. They are children who do not have any sense. They have no understanding at all. They are skilled in doing what is evil. They do not know how to do what is good.”

Is that how you thank the Lord? You aren’t wise. You are foolish. Remember, he’s your Father. He’s your Creator. He made you. He formed you.

When their twigs are dry, they will be broken off. Then women will come and make fires with them. The people of Jacob don’t understand the Lord. So the God who made them won’t be concerned about them. Their Creator won’t be kind to them.

Those who think they are wise will be put to shame. They will become terrified. They will be trapped. They have not accepted my message. So what kind of wisdom do they have?

In them the words of the prophet Isaiah come true. He said,“‘ You will hear but never understand. You will see but never know what you are seeing.The hearts of these people have become stubborn. They can barely hear with their ears. They have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes. They might hear with their ears. They might understand with their hearts. They might turn to the Lord, and then he would heal them.’( Isaiah 6:9, 10)

He said to human beings,“ Have respect for the Lord. That will prove you are wise. Avoid evil. That will show you have understanding.”

Brothers and sisters, here is a mystery I want you to understand. It will keep you from being proud. Part of Israel has refused to obey God. That will continue until the full number of Gentiles has entered God’s kingdom.

So once more I will shock these people with many wonderful acts. I will destroy the wisdom of those who think they are so wise. I will do away with the cleverness of those who think they are so smart.”

My people are destroyed because they do not know me.“ You priests have refused to obey me. So I will refuse to accept you as my priests. You have not paid any attention to my law. So I will not let your children be my priests.

The wisdom of this world is foolish in God’s eyes. It is written,“ God catches wise people in their own evil plans.”( Job 5:13)

If you really want to gain knowledge, you must begin by having respect for the Lord. But foolish people hate wisdom and instruction.

So I let them go their own stubborn way. I let them follow their own sinful plans.
