Tafsiran Yesaya 29:9: Rashi & Ibn Ezra

הִתְמַהְמְה֣וּ וּתְמָ֔הוּ הִשְׁתַּֽעַשְׁע֖וּ וָשֹׁ֑עוּ שָֽׁכְר֣וּ וְלֹא־יַ֔יִן נָע֖וּ וְלֹ֥א שֵׁכָֽר׃

Termenunglah dan tercenganglah! Butakanlah dirimu dan jadilah buta! Mereka mabuk, tetapi bukan karena anggur; mereka terhuyung-huyung, tetapi bukan karena minuman keras.

Rashi

stop Be patient to reflect [to think] about your deeds.

Ibn Ezra

The prophet addresses the men of Zion who will be curious to know how this will happen, and what the meaning of this prophecy is.—The prophet speaks in the same manner as people use to speak one to another; and why do they still not understand him? because they are drunken, but not with wine.

they became blind (הִשְׁתַּעַשְׁעוּ) an expression related to (supra 6:10) “And his eyes are becoming sealed (הָשַׁע),” they were blind, not being able to see [lit., from seeing].

Rashi

They were intoxicated yourselves (sic) but not from wine. Why? ([Parshandatha claims that this reading is erroneous. The correct reading, according to all manuscripts is:] their wise men, but not from wine.)
