Isaiah 29:9-14
9 aBe delayed and wait,Blind yourselves and be blind;
They bbecome drunk, but not with wine,
They stagger, but not with strong drink.
10For the Lord has poured over you a spirit of deep csleep,
He has dshut 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 ▼
▼ Or scroll
,
fbook, which when they give it to the one who ▼▼ Lit knows books
is literate, saying, “Please read this,” he will say, “I cannot, for it is sealed.” 12Then the ▼▼ Or scroll
book will be given to the one who ▼▼ Lit does not know books
is illiterate, saying, “Please read this.” And he will say, “I ▼▼ Lit do not know books
cannot read.” 13Then the Lord said, “Because kthis people draw near with their ▼▼ Lit mouth
wordsAnd honor Me with their ▼
▼ Lit lips
lip service,But they remove their hearts far from Me,
And their ▼
▼ Lit fear of Me
reverence for Me ▼▼ Lit is
consists of ▼▼ Lit commandment of rulers
tradition learned by rote,14Therefore behold, I will once again deal qmarvelously with this people, wondrously marvelous;
And rthe wisdom of their wise men will perish,
And the discernment of their discerning men will be concealed.”
