[http://subspla.sh/dqym22m] Isaiah 29:9-14 9 Be stunned and amazed,     blind yourselves and be sightless; be drunk, but not from wine,     stagger, but not from beer. 10  The Lord has brought over you a deep sleep:     He has sealed your eyes (the prophets);     he has covered your heads (the seers). 11  For you this whole vision is nothing but words sealed in a scroll. And if you give the scroll to someone who can read, and say, “Read this, please,” they will answer, “I can’t; it is sealed.”  12 Or if you give the scroll to someone who cannot read, and say, “Read this, please,” they will answer, “I don’t know how to read.” 13  The Lord says: “These people come near to me with their mouth     and honor me with their lips,     but their hearts are far from me. Their worship of me     is based on merely human rules they have been taught. 14  Therefore once more I will astound these people     with wonder upon wonder; the wisdom of the wise will perish,     the intelligence of the intelligent will vanish.”
