smear over, close up); — Qal Imperative +
Hithpalpel Imperative masculine plural הִשְׁתַּעַשְׁעוּ וָשֹׁ֑עוּ Isaiah 29:9 blind yourselves and be blind ! ("" הִתְמַהְמְהוּ וּתְמָהוּ); > Buhl הִשְׁתָּעוּ וּשְׁעוּ, √שׁעה look about ( 2 Samuel 22:42); Isaiah 32:3 read probably 3 feminine plural תְּשֹׁעֶינָה, of eyes, be blinded (see שׁעה).
Hiph`il Imperative masculine singular וְעֵינָיו הָשַׁ֑ע Isaiah 6:10 and its eyes besmear ! — So perhaps הָשַׁע Psalm 39:14 (עֵינֶיךָ omitted) was intended by Masoretes (but wrongly, see Ol and others); see שָׁעָה.
II. [שָׁעַע] verb Pilpel, etc., sport, take delight in, delight (usually made = I. ׳שׁ smooth over, please; Buhl compare Aramaic 
, Ithpe`el sport, trifle, Vulgar Arabic

Palpel Imperfect 2 masculine plural תְּשָֽׁעֳשָׁ֑עוּ Isaiah 66:12 upon (עַל) the knees shall ye be fondled.
Hithpalpel Imperfect 1 singular אֶשְׁתַּעֲשָׁ֑ע Psalm 119:16 in (ב) thy statutes will I delight myself, compare Psalm 119:47.
שָׁעַע prop. to stroke; also to overspread, to smear (Chald. and Syr. שְׁעַע and שׁוּעַ compare שָׁעָה NO. II.). In Kal once intrans., to be smeared over (used of the eye), to be blinded, Isaiah 29:9 as to this passage see Hithpael.
Hiphil, imp. הָשַׁע smear, blind (the eyes), Isaiah 6:10.
Pilpel שִׁעֲשַׁע

Pulpal שָֽׁעֳשַׁע to be smoothed, to be caressed (geliebkoft werden), Isaiah 66:12.
Hithpalpel הִשְׁתַּעֲשַׁע to delight oneself. Isaiah 29:9, הִשְׁתַּעַשְׁעוּ וָשֹׁעוּ “delight yourselves and be blind,” i.e. indulge freely in your own delights and pleasures, presently, however you will be blinded, i.e. ye shall be amazed at the sight of those things which will happen. As to this use of two imperatives, one of them concessive, the other asserting and threatening, see Hebr. Gramm. § 127, 2 (§ 99, ed. 9). Followed by בְּ in anything, Psalms 119:16, 47 Psalms 119:47.
