9 (In former times in Israel this was the way the man would have talked on his going to seek God: “COME, and let us go to the seer.”+ For the prophet of today used to be called a seer in former times.)

10 For upon YOU men Jehovah has poured a spirit of deep sleep;+ and he closes YOUR eyes, the prophets,+ and he has covered even YOUR heads,+ the visionaries.+
