Isaiah 29:9-12
Lexham English Bible
9 Be astonished and be amazed!
Blind yourselves and be blinded!
They are drunk but[a] not from wine;
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.
11 And the vision of all this has become for you like the words of a sealed document. 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]

Isaiah 29:9-12
Common English Bible
9 Be shocked and stunned;
blind yourselves; be blind!
Be drunk, but not on wine;
stagger, but not on account of beer!
10 The Lord has poured on you a spirit of deep sleep,
and has shut your eyes, you prophets,
and covered your heads, you seers.
11 This entire vision has become for you like the words of a sealed scroll. When they give it to one who can read, saying, “Read this,” that one will say, “I can’t, because it’s sealed.” 12 And when the scroll is given to one who can’t read, saying, “Read this,” that one will say, “I can’t read.”
