For the LORD has poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and has closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers has he covered.
All Commentaries on Isaiah 29:10 Go To Isaiah 29
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
Sleep, or compunction, (Romans xi. 8.; Calmet) denoting their obstinacy. (St. Chrysostom)
Visions. Protestants, "the seers. "(Haydock)
The Jews perceived but very imperfectly the meaning of the prophets, when they spoke of a future Redeemer, God and man. They are now more infatuated, (Calmet) having a veil on their hearts, 1 Corinthians iv. 3. Both learned and ignorant refuse to believe, excusing themselves, ver. 12. (Haydock)
The more they read the Scriptures, the less do they understand. (Calmet)
