Isaiah 29:15

Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the LORD, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us?

KJV

Væ qui profundi estis corde, ut a Domino abscondatis consilium ; quorum sunt in tenebris opera, et dicunt : Quis videt nos ? et quis novit nos ?

Vulgate

Οὐαὶ οἱ βαθέως βουλὴν ποιοῦντες καὶ ἔσται ἐν σκότει τὰ ἔργα αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐροῦσιν Τίς ἑόρακεν ἡμᾶς; καὶ τίς ἡμᾶς γνώσεται ἢ ἃ ἡμεῖς ποιοῦμεν;

LXX

Woe unto them that hide deep their counsel from Jehovah, and whose works are in the dark, and that say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us?
