9  Stay yourselves, and wonder;

||Cry ye out, and cry:

yThey are drunken, zbut not with wine;

They stagger, but not with strong drink.

10  For athe Lord hath poured out upon you the spirit of bdeep sleep,

And hath cclosed your eyes:

The prophets and your †rulers, the seers hath he covered.

11  dAnd the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a ||book ethat is sealed,

Which men deliver to one that is learned,

Saying, Read this, I pray thee:

And he saith, I cannot; efor it is sealed:

12  And the book is delivered to him that is not learned,

Saying, Read this, I pray thee:

And he saith, I am not learned.

13  Wherefore the Lord said,

fForasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth,

And with their lips do ghonour me,

But have removed their heart far from me,

And their fear toward me is taught by hthe precept of men:

14  iTherefore, behold, †I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people,

Even a marvellous work and a wonder:

For jthe wisdom of their wise men shall perish,

And the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid.
