‏ Isaiah 29:15

15 Those who try to hide their plans from the Lord are as good as dead, ^{▼▼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.}
who do their work in secret and boast, ^{▼▼tn Heb “and their works are in darkness, and they say.”}
“Who sees us? Who knows what we’re doing?” ^{▼▼tn The rhetorical questions suggest the answer: “No one.” They are confident that their deeds are hidden from others, including God.}
