Isaiah 29:11 - Forerunner Commentary

Isaiah 29:11

The Blindness of Disobedience

9 Pause and wonder!
Blind yourselves and be blind!
^aThey are drunk, ^bbut not with wine;
They stagger, but not with intoxicating drink.

10 For ^athe Lord has poured out on you
The spirit of deep sleep,
And has ^bclosed your eyes, namely, the prophets;
And He has covered your heads, namely, ^cthe seers.

11 The whole vision has become to you like the words of a¹ book ^athat is sealed, which men deliver to one who is literate, saying, “Read this, please.” ^bAnd he says, “I cannot, for it is sealed.”

12 Then the book is delivered to one who¹ is illiterate, saying, “Read this, please.” And he says, “I am not literate.”

13 Therefore the Lord said:
^a“Inasmuch as these people draw near with their mouths
And honor Me ^bwith their lips,
But have removed their hearts far from Me,
And their fear toward Me is taught by the commandment of men,
