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.
Isaiah 29:10 — KJV
Closed your eyes. See on ch. 6:9, 10. The people of Judah were groping about blindly, as if in a stupor (see on v. 9). The eyes of their understanding were darkened. Their rulers, whose business it was to guide the affairs of state, had lost all sense of direction. Their seers, who divined for money, were utterly blind. God had sent them message after message, but with each rejection of light from Heaven they blinded themselves more and more, and their perception of truth became increasingly dull. It was in this sense that the Lord had “closed” their eyes (see on Ex. 4:21).
