Isaiah 29:10

New English Translation

¹⁰For the Lord has poured out on you
a strong urge to sleep deeply.^[a]
He has shut your eyes (you prophets),
and covered your heads (you seers).

Isaiah 29:10 tn Heb “a disposition [or “spirit”] of deep sleep.” Through this mixed metaphor (sleep is likened to a liquid which one pours and in turn symbolizes spiritual dullness) the prophet emphasizes that God himself has given the people over to their spiritual insensitivity as a form of judgment.

Isaiah 29:10

New International Version

¹⁰The Lord has brought over you a deep sleep:^(A)
He has sealed your eyes^(B) (the prophets);^(C)
he has covered your heads (the seers).^(D)
