who do their work in secret and boast,
“Who sees us? Who knows what we’re doing?”

“those who make plans without consulting me,
who form alliances without consulting my Spirit,
and thereby compound their sin.
59:10 We grope along the wall like the blind,
we grope like those who cannot see;
we stumble at noontime as if it were evening.
Though others are strong, we are like dead men.
