Isaiah 29:10 in Context — Isaiah 29

8 Comme celui qui a faim rêve qu’il mange, Puis s’éveille, l’estomac vide, Et comme celui qui a soif rêve qu’il boit, Puis s’éveille, épuisé et languissant; Ainsi en sera-t-il de la multitude des nations Qui viendront attaquer la montagne de Sion.

9 Soyez stupéfaits et étonnés! Fermez les yeux et devenez aveugles! Ils sont ivres, mais ce n’est pas de vin; Ils chancellent, mais ce n’est pas l’effet des liqueurs fortes.

10 Car l’Éternel a répandu sur vous un esprit d’assoupissement; Il a fermé vos yeux (les prophètes), Il a voilé vos têtes (les voyants).

11 Toute la révélation est pour vous comme les mots d’un livre cacheté Que l’on donne à un homme qui sait lire, en disant: Lis donc cela! Et qui répond: Je ne le puis, Car il est cacheté;

12 Ou comme un livre que l’on donne A un homme qui ne sait pas lire, en disant: Lis donc cela! Et qui répond: Je ne sais pas lire.
