Book of Isaiah - Chapter 29 - Verse 11

29:11
And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I cannot; for it is sealed:

Meaning

This verse from the book of Isaiah describes a situation where people are unable to understand or interpret a vision that has been given to them. The vision is compared to a sealed book that even a learned person is unable to read. This imagery highlights the idea that sometimes knowledge or revelations may be inaccessible or incomprehensible to human beings, no matter how educated or wise they may be. The verse can also be interpreted as a metaphor for spiritual blindness or the inability to grasp the deeper meanings of divine messages. In the context of a website that publishes the Bible verse by verse, this passage serves as a reminder that some aspects of faith and spirituality may be difficult to comprehend, and that humility and openness to learning are important virtues in seeking divine understanding.
