And the book is handed to the one who is not literate, saying, 'Please read this.' But he says, 'I cannot read,' establishing that those without learning also cannot access the sealed prophecy, suggesting that the barrier to understanding is universal and absolute. The progression—from literate to illiterate—emphasizes that the sealing of the vision prevents comprehension regardless of educational status or intellectual capacity. The oracle suggests that understanding of God's purposes requires not merely knowledge or learning but a spiritual capacity that can be lost through persistent rejection. The sealed and unreadable book represents the complete inaccessibility of prophecy to those who have turned away from God.
