Isaiah 29:9-12
Lexham English Bible

9 Be astonished and be amazed!

    they stagger but[b] not from strong drink.
10 For Yahweh has poured out upon you a spirit of deep sleep,
    and he has shut your eyes, the prophets,
    and he has covered your heads, the seers.

When they give it to one who knows the[c] document, saying, “Read[d] this now!” He says, “I am not able, for it is sealed.” 12 And if the document is given to one who does not know how to read,[e] saying, “Read[f] this now!” he says, “I do not know how to read.”[g]
