Commentary -- Verse Notes / Footnotes

NET Notes: Isa 29:15

¹ tn Heb “Woe [to] those who deeply hide counsel from the Lord.” This probably alludes to political alliances made without seeking the Lord’s guidance. See 30:1-2 and 31:1.

² tn Heb “and their works are in darkness and they say.”

³ tn The rhetorical questions suggest the answer, “no one.” They are confident that their deeds are hidden from others, including God.
