The vision remains sealed

9Be stunned and be astonished; blind yourselves and be blind. They are drunk, but not with wine; they stagger, but not from strong drink.

10For Yahweh has poured out on you a spirit of deep sleep, and has shut 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 sealed scroll, which they give to one who knows writing, saying, “Please read this,” and he says, “I cannot, because it is sealed.”

12And the book is given to one who does not know writing, saying, “Please read this,” and he says, “I do not know writing.”
