Isaiah 29:9-12
Legacy Standard Bible
9 (A)Astonish yourselves and be astonished,
Blind yourselves and be blind;
They (B)become drunk, but not with wine;
They stagger, but not with strong drink.
10 For Yahweh has poured over you a spirit of deep (C)sleep;
He has (D)shut your eyes, the prophets;
And He has covered your heads, the seers.
11 The entire vision will be to you like the words of a sealed [a](E)book, which when they give it to the one who [b]is literate, saying, “Please read this,” he will say, “I cannot, for it is sealed.” 12 Then the [c]book will be given to the one who [d]does not know how to read a book, saying, “Please read this.” And he will say, “I [e]do not know how to read a book.”
