Isaiah 29:9-12

Stay
<04102> (8697)

yourselves, and wonder
<08539> (8798)_;

cry ye out
<08173> (8697)_,

and cry
<08173> (8798)_:

they are drunken
<07937> (8804)_,

but not with wine
<03196>_;

they stagger
<05128> (8804)_,

but not with strong drink
<07941>_.

{cry ye...: or, take your pleasure, and riot}

For the LORD
<03068>

hath poured out
<05258> (8804)

upon you the spirit
<07307>

of deep sleep
<08639>_,

and hath closed
<06105> (8762)

your eyes
<05869>_:

the prophets
<05030>

and your rulers
<07218>_,

the seers
<02374>

hath he covered
<03680> (8765)_.

{rulers: Heb. heads}

And the vision
<02380>

of all is become unto you as the words
<01697>

of a book
<05612>

that is sealed
<02856> (8803)_,

which [men] deliver
<05414> (8799)

to one that is learned
<03045> (8802)_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Read
<07121> (8798)

this, I pray thee: and he saith
<0559> (8804)_,

I cannot
<03201> (8799)_;

for it [is] sealed
<02856> (8803)_:

{book: or, letter}

And the book
<05612>

is delivered
<05414> (8738)

to him that is not learned
<03045> (8804) <05612>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Read
<07121> (8798)

this, I pray thee: and he saith
<0559> (8804)_,

I am not learned
<03045> (8804)_.
