[1] Woe to Ariel! Ariel, the city where David encamped! Add year to year; let the feasts come around; [2] then I will distress Ariel, and there will be mourning and lamentation. She shall be to me as an altar hearth.§ [3] I will encamp against you all around you, and will lay siege against you with posted troops. I will raise siege works against you. [4] You will be brought down, and will speak out of the ground. Your speech will mumble out of the dust. Your voice will be as of one who has a familiar spirit, out of the ground, and your speech will whisper out of the dust. [5] But the multitude of your foes will be like fine dust, and the multitude of the ruthless ones like chaff that blows away. Yes, it will be in an instant, suddenly. [6] She will be visited by Yahweh of Armies with thunder, with earthquake, with great noise, with whirlwind and storm, and with the flame of a devouring fire. [7] The multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel, even all who fight against her and her stronghold, and who distress her, will be like a dream, a vision of the night. [8] It will be like when a hungry man dreams, and behold, he eats; but he awakes, and his hunger isn’t satisfied; or like when a thirsty man dreams, and behold, he drinks; but he awakes, and behold, he is faint, and he is still thirsty. The multitude of all the nations that fight against Mount Zion will be like that. [9] Pause and wonder! Blind yourselves and be blind! They are drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink. [10] For Yahweh has poured out on you a spirit of deep sleep, and has closed your eyes, the prophets; and he has covered your heads, the seers. [11] All vision has become to you like the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one who is educated, saying, “Read this, please;” and he says, “I can’t, for it is sealed;” [12] and the book is delivered to one who is not educated, saying, “Read this, please;” and he says, “I can’t read.” [13] The Lord said, “Because this people draws near with their mouth and honors me with their lips, but they have removed their heart far from me, and their fear of me is a commandment of men which has been taught; [14] therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvelous work among this people, even a marvelous work and a wonder; and the wisdom of their wise men will perish, and the understanding of their prudent men will be hidden.” [15] Woe to those who deeply hide their counsel from Yahweh, and whose deeds are in the dark, and who say, “Who sees us?” and “Who knows us?” [16] You turn things upside down! Should the potter be thought to be like clay, that the thing made should say about him who made it, “He didn’t make me;” or the thing formed say of him who formed it, “He has no understanding”? [17] Isn’t it yet a very little while, and Lebanon will be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field will be regarded as a forest? [18] In that day, the deaf will hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind will see out of obscurity and out of darkness. [19] The humble also will increase their joy in Yahweh, and the poor among men will rejoice in the Holy One of Israel. [20] For the ruthless is brought to nothing, and the scoffer ceases, and all those who are alert to do evil are cut off— [21] who cause a person to be indicted by a word, and lay a snare for one who reproves in the gate, and who deprive the innocent of justice with false testimony. [22] Therefore Yahweh, who redeemed Abraham, says concerning the house of Jacob: “Jacob shall no longer be ashamed, neither shall his face grow pale. [23] But when he sees his children, the work of my hands, in the middle of him, they will sanctify my name. Yes, they will sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and will stand in awe of the God of Israel. [24] They also who err in spirit will come to understanding, and those who grumble will receive instruction.”

  1. § 29:2 or, Ariel
King James Version

Jerusalem

[1] Woe H1945 to Ariel, H740 to Ariel, H740 the city H7151 where David H1732 dwelt! H2583 add H5595 ye year H8141 to year; H8141 let them kill H5362§ sacrifices. H2282 [2] Yet I will distress H6693 Ariel, H740 and there shall be heaviness H8386 and sorrow: H592 and it shall be unto me as Ariel. H740 [3] And I will camp H2583 against H5921 thee round about, H1754 and will lay siege H6696 against H5921 thee with a mount, H4674 and I will raise H6965 forts H4694 against thee. [4] And thou shalt be brought down, H8213 and shalt speak H1696 out of the ground, H776 and thy speech H565 shall be low H7817 out of the dust, H6083 and thy voice H6963 shall be, as of one that hath a familiar spirit, H178 out of the ground, H776 and thy speech H565 shall whisper H6850§ out of the dust. H6083 [5] Moreover the multitude H1995 of thy strangers H2114 shall be like small H1851 dust, H80 and the multitude H1995 of the terrible ones H6184 shall be as chaff H4671 that passeth away: H5674 yea, it shall be at an instant H6621 suddenly. H6597 [6] Thou shalt be visited H6485 of the Lord H3068 of hosts H6635 with thunder, H7482 and with earthquake, H7494 and great H1419 noise, H6963 with storm H5492 and tempest, H5591 and the flame H3851 of devouring H398 fire. H784 [7] And the multitude H1995 of all the nations H1471 that fight H6633 against Ariel, H740 even all that fight H6638 against her and her munition, H4685 and that distress H6693 her, shall be as a dream H2472 of a night H3915 vision. H2377 [8] It shall even be as when an hungry H7457 man dreameth, H2492 and, behold, he eateth; H398 but he awaketh, H6974 and his soul H5315 is empty: H7386 or as when H834 a thirsty man H6771 dreameth, H2492 and, behold, he drinketh; H8354 but he awaketh, H6974 and, behold, he is faint, H5889 and his soul H5315 hath appetite: H8264 so H3651 shall the multitude H1995 of all the nations H1471 be, that fight H6633 against H5921 mount H2022 Zion. H6726 [9] Stay H4102 yourselves, and wonder; H8539 cry ye out, H8173 and cry: H8173§ they are drunken, H7937 but not with wine; H3196 they stagger, H5128 but not with strong drink. H7941 [10] For H3588 the Lord H3068 hath poured out H5258 upon H5921 you the spirit H7307 of deep sleep, H8639 and hath closed H6105 H853 your eyes: H5869 H853 the prophets H5030 and your rulers, H7218§ the seers H2374 hath he covered. H3680 [11] And the vision H2380 of all is become unto you as the words H1697 of a book H5612§ that is sealed, H2856 which men deliver H5414 to one that is learned, H3045 saying, H559 Read H7121 this, I pray thee: and he saith, H559 I cannot; H3201 for it is sealed: H2856 [12] and the book H5612 is delivered H5414 to him that is not learned, H3045 H5612 saying, H559 Read H7121 this, I pray thee: and he saith, H559 I am not learned. H3045 [13] Wherefore the Lord H136 said, H559 Forasmuch H3282 as this people H5971 draw near H5066 me with their mouth, H6310 and with their lips H8193 do honour H3513 me, but have removed H7368 their heart H3820 far H7368 from H4480 me, and their fear H3374 toward me is taught H3925 by the precept H4687 of men: H582 [14] therefore, behold, I will proceed H3254§ to do a marvellous work H6381 H853 among this people, H5971 even a marvellous work H6381 and a wonder: H6382 for the wisdom H2451 of their wise H2450 men shall perish, H6 and the understanding H998 of their prudent H995 men shall be hid. H5641 [15] Woe H1945 unto them that seek deep H6009 to hide H5641 their counsel H6098 from the Lord, H3068 and their works H4639 are in the dark, H4285 and they say, H559 Who seeth H7200 us? and who knoweth H3045 us? [16] Surely your turning of things upside down H2017 shall be esteemed H2803 as the potter’s H3335 clay: H2563 for shall the work H4639 say H559 of him that made H6213 it, He made H6213 me not? or shall the thing framed H3336 say H559 of him that framed H3335 it, He had no understanding? H995 [17] Is it not yet a very H4213 little while, H4592 and Lebanon H3844 shall be turned H7725 into a fruitful field, H3759 and the fruitful field H3759 shall be esteemed H2803 as a forest? H3293 [18] And in that day H3117 shall the deaf H2795 hear H8085 the words H1697 of the book, H5612 and the eyes H5869 of the blind H5787 shall see H7200 out of obscurity, H652 and out of darkness. H2822 [19] The meek H6035 also shall increase H3254§ their joy H8057 in the Lord, H3068 and the poor H34 among men H120 shall rejoice H1523 in the Holy One H6918 of Israel. H3478 [20] For the terrible one H6184 is brought to nought, H656 and the scorner H3887 is consumed, H3615 and all that watch H8245 for iniquity H205 are cut off: H3772 [21] that make a man H120 an offender H2398 for a word, H1697 and lay a snare H6983 for him that reproveth H3198 in the gate, H8179 and turn aside H5186 the just H6662 for a thing of nought. H8414 [22] Therefore thus saith H559 the Lord, H3068 who H834 redeemed H6299 H853 Abraham, H85 concerning the house H1004 of Jacob, H3290 Jacob H3290 shall H954 not H3808 now be ashamed, H954 neither shall his face H6440 now H6258 wax pale. H2357 [23] But when he seeth H7200 his children, H3206 the work H4639 of mine hands, H3027 in the midst H7130 of him, they shall sanctify H6942 my name, H8034 and sanctify H6942 H853 the Holy One H6918 of Jacob, H3290 and shall fear H6206 the God H430 of Israel. H3478 [24] They also that erred H8582 in spirit H7307 shall come H3045 to understanding, H998§ and they that murmured H7279 shall learn H3925 doctrine. H3948
