Isaiah 29:9-14

91Be delayed and horrified, Blind yourselves and be blind; They 2become drunk, but not with wine, They stagger, but not with intoxicating drink.10For the Lord has poured over you a spirit of deep 3sleep, He has 4shut your eyes--the prophets; And He has covered your heads--the seers. 11The entire vision will be to you like the words of a sealed 56book, which, when they give it to the one who 7is literate, saying, “Please read this,” he will say, “I cannot, because it is sealed.” 12Then the 8book will be given to the one who 9is illiterate, saying, “Please read this.” And he will say, “I 10cannot read.”

13Then the Lord said, “Because 11this people approaches Me with their 12words And honors Me with their lips, But their heart is far away from Me, And their 13reverence for Me 14consists of the commandment of men that is taught;14Therefore behold, I will once again deal 15marvelously with this people, wondrously marvelous; And 16the wisdom of their wise men will perish, And the understanding of their men who have understanding will be concealed.”
