Isaiah 29:10-12
New King James Version
10 For (A)the Lord has poured out on you
The spirit of deep sleep,
And has (B)closed your eyes, namely, the prophets;
And He has covered your heads, namely, (C)the seers.
11 The whole vision has become to you like the words of a [a]book (D)that is sealed, which men deliver to one who is literate, saying, “Read this, please.”
(E)And he says, “I cannot, for it is sealed.”
12 Then the book is delivered to one who [b]is illiterate, saying, “Read this, please.”
And he says, “I am not literate.”

Isaiah 29:10-12
New International Version
10 The Lord has brought over you a deep sleep:(A)
He has sealed your eyes(B) (the prophets);(C)
he has covered your heads (the seers).(D)
11 For you this whole vision(E) is nothing but words sealed(F) 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.”
