The not/none linglingaa warnings

Isa 29:9–14

9Astonish yourselves and be astonished.

≈ Blind yourselves and be blind.

Get drunk, but not with wine.

≈ Stagger, but not from strong drink,

10because 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.

11Then 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.’

13My master says,

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]

14Because of that, I’ll confound those people again with wonder upon 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.
