Isaiah 29:10-14

English Standard Version

¹⁰^(A)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).

¹¹And the vision of all this has become to you like the words of a book that is ^(B)sealed. When men give it to one who can read, saying, “Read this,” he says, “I cannot, for it is sealed.” ¹²And when they give the book to one who cannot read, saying, “Read this,” he says, “I cannot read.”

¹³And the Lord said:
“Because ^(C)this people ^(D)draw near with their mouth
    and honor me with their lips,
    while their hearts are far from me,
and their fear of me is a commandment taught by men,
¹⁴therefore, behold, ^(E)I will again
    do wonderful things with this people,
    with wonder upon wonder;
and ^(F)the wisdom of their wise men shall perish,
    and the discernment of their discerning men shall be hidden.”
