11 And the whole vision is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which they give to one that can read, saying, Read this, I pray thee; and he saith, I cannot, for it is sealed.
12 And they give the book to him that cannot read, saying, Read this, I pray thee; and he saith, I cannot read.
