NASB
"Then the book will be given to the one who is illiterate, saying, "Please read this." And he will say, "I cannot read.""
— Isaiah 29:12, NASB
“And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned.”
“and the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee; and he saith, I am not learned. ”
“and the book is delivered to one who is not educated, saying, "Read this, please;" and he says, "I can't read."”
“Or when they hand the scroll to one who can’t read and say,“Read this,” he says,“I can’t read.””
“And the book shall be given to one that knoweth no letters, and it shall be said to him: Read: and he shall answer: I know no letters.”
“And they give it to one without learning, saying, Make clear to us what is in the book: and he says, I have no knowledge of writing.”
“And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned.”
Be delayed and wait, Blind yourselves and be blind; They become drunk, but not with wine, They stagger, but not with strong drink.
For the LORD has poured over you a spirit of deep sleep, He has shut your eyes, the prophets; And He has covered your heads, the seers.
The entire vision will be to you like the words of a sealed book, which when they give it to the one who is literate, saying, "Please read this," he will say, "I cannot, for it is sealed."
Then the book will be given to the one who is illiterate, saying, "Please read this." And he will say, "I cannot read."
Then the Lord said, "Because this people draw near with their words And honor Me with their lip service, But they remove their hearts far from Me, And their reverence for Me consists of tradition learned by rote,
Therefore behold, I will once again deal marvelously with this people, wondrously marvelous; And the wisdom of their wise men will perish, And the discernment of their discerning men will be concealed."
Woe to those who deeply hide their plans from the LORD, And whose deeds are done in a dark place, And they say, "Who sees us?" or "Who knows us?"
