Isaiah 29:9-12
New Living Translation
9 Are you amazed and incredulous?
Don’t you believe it?
Then go ahead and be blind.
You are stupid, but not from wine!
You stagger, but not from liquor!
10 For the Lord has poured out on you a spirit of deep sleep.
He has closed the eyes of your prophets and visionaries.
11 All the future events in this vision are like a sealed book to them. When you give it to those who can read, they will say, “We can’t read it because it is sealed.” 12 When you give it to those who cannot read, they will say, “We don’t know how to read.”

Isaiah 29:9-12
Christian Standard Bible
9 Stop and be astonished;
blind yourselves and be blind!
They are drunk,[a] but not with wine;
they stagger,[b] but not with beer.(A)
10 For the Lord has poured out on you
an overwhelming urge to[c] sleep;(B)
he has shut your eyes (the prophets)
and covered your heads (the seers).(C)
11 For you the entire vision will be like the words of a sealed document.(D) If it is given to one who can read and he is asked to read it,[d] he will say, “I can’t read it, because it is sealed.” 12 And if the document is given to one who cannot read and he is asked to read it,[e] he will say, “I can’t read.”
