Isaiah 29:10-12

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹⁰For the Lord has poured out upon you
a spirit of deep sleep;
he has closed your eyes (the prophets)
and covered your heads (the seers).^(A)

¹¹The vision of all this has become for you like the words of a sealed document. If it is given to those who can read with the command, “Read this,” they say, “We cannot, for it is sealed.”^(B) ¹²And if it is given to those who cannot read, saying, “Read this,” they say, “We cannot read.”
