For the LORD hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers hath he covered.

The verse 10 is found in chapter 29 of Isaiah. Ariel, the poetic name for Jerusalem, will be surrounded and humbled, but will later experience an unexpected intervention. The people honor God with their lips while their hearts remain far from him. The criticism therefore reaches a formal religiosity that does not correspond to inner obedience.

Denn der HERR hat euch einen Geist des harten Schlafs eingeschenkt und eure Augen zugetan; eure Propheten und Fürsten samt den Sehern hat er verhüllt,
Porque Jehová extendió sobre vosotros espíritu de sueño, y cerró vuestros ojos: cubrió vuestros profetas, y vuestros principales videntes.
Car l'Eternel a répandu sur vous un esprit d'assoupissement; Il a fermé vos yeux les prophètes, Il a voilé vos têtes les voyants.
Perciocchè il Signore ha versato sopra voi uno spirito di profondo sonno, e vi ha chiusi gli occhi, ed ha appannati gli occhi de’ profeti, e de’ veggenti, vostri capi.
Porque o SENHOR derramou sobre vós um espírito de profundo sono, e fechou os vossos olhos, vendou os profetas, e os vossos principais videntes.
因為耶和華將沉睡的靈澆灌你們, 遮住你們的眼, 眼就是先知, 覆蓋你們的頭, 頭就是先見。
