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.”

Isaiah 29:9-12
English Standard Version
9 Astonish yourselves[a] and be astonished;
blind yourselves and be blind!
Be drunk,[b] but not with wine;
(A)stagger,[c] but not with strong drink!
10 (B)For the Lord has poured out upon you
a spirit of deep sleep,
and has closed your eyes (the prophets),
and covered your heads (the seers).
11 And the vision of all this has become to you like the words of a book that is (C)sealed. When men give it to one who can read, saying, “Read this,” he says, “I cannot, for it is sealed.” 12 And when they give the book to one who cannot read, saying, “Read this,” he says, “I cannot read.”
