Isaiah 29:11 in Context — Isaiah 29
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.
13 Le Seigneur dit: Quand ce peuple s’approche de moi, Il m’honore de la bouche et des lèvres; Mais son cœur est éloigné de moi, Et la crainte qu’il a de moi N’est qu’un précepte de tradition humaine.
