10 The Lord will make you sleepy.
    He will close your eyes. (The prophets are your eyes.)
    He will cover your heads. (The prophets are your heads.)

11 To you my words are like the words in a book that is closed and sealed.[a] You can give the book to someone who can read and tell that person to read it. But that person will say, “I cannot read the book. It is closed and I cannot open it.” 12 Or you can give the book to someone who cannot read and tell that person to read it. That person will say, “I cannot read the book because I don’t know how to read.”
