The Lord hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep
sleep. For behold, ye have closed your eyes, and ye
Have rejected the prophets; and your rulers, and the seers
Hath he covered because of your iniquity. And it
Shall come to pass that the Lord God shall bring forth
Unto you the words of a book, and they shall be the words
Of them which have slumbered.
