What does Isaiah 29:9 mean?

Be shocked and amazed—go ahead, blind yourselves and stay blind. You’re drunk, but not from wine; you’re staggering, but not from alcohol. Isaiah 29:9 - Modern Text Bible

(Isaiah calls out the people’s spiritual blindness and confusion. They’re lost, but not because of literal drunkenness.)
