29:9 Compromised prophets
9 Astonish yourselves and be astonished.
≈ Blind yourselves and be blind.
≈ Stagger, but not from strong drink,
10 because Yahweh has poured a spirit of deep sleep out onto you all,[ref]
and has shut your prophets’ eyes,
≈ and has covered your visionaries’ heads.
11 Then to you all, the entire vision will be like the words sealed in a scroll—
if it’s handed to a person who’s educated to read out, they’ll say, ‘I can’t, because it is sealed up.’
12 ^ Or if the scroll is given to an uneducated person to read out, they’ll say, ‘I can’t read.’
“Yes, those people come close to me with what their mouths say,
≈ and honour me with lipservice,
but their heart is far from me,
≈ and their respect for me is just something that they’ve been taught to do.[ref]
14 Because of that, I’ll confound those people again with wonder after wonder.
The wisdom of the wise will vanish,
≈ and the intelligence of the intelligent will be hidden.”[fn][ref]
29:14 Septuagint: I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will hide the intelligence of the intelligent. Cited in 1 Corinthians 1:19.
Rom 11:8:
8 just like it was written:[ref]
‘God gave them a lethargic spirit:
Eyes which can’t see and ears which can’t hear,
even to this very day.’
Mat 15:8-9:
8 ‘These people honour me with their lips,
But their hearts are far away from me.
9 Their worship of me is useless,
They teach human ideas as if they’re commands.’ ”
Mrk 7:6-7:
6 “Yeshayah (Isaiah) got it exactly right,” he answered, “when he expressed God’s thoughts about you hypocrites and wrote:[ref]
‘These people honour me with their lips,
but their real desires are far away from me.
7 Their worship of me is worthless—
teaching man-made rules as if they are from God.’
1Cor 1:19:
19 because it was written:[ref]
‘I will destroy the wisdom of the wise,
and I will nullify the understanding of the intelligent.’
