The Siege of Jerusalem

29Ah, Ariel, Ariel, the city where David encamped! Add year to year; let the festivals run their round.H1945H740H740H7151H1732H2583H5595H8141H8141H5362H2282 2Yet I will distress Ariel, and there shall be moaning and lamentation, and Jerusalem shall be to me like an Ariel.H6693H740H8386H592H740 3And like David I will encamp against you; I will besiege you with towers and raise siegeworks against you.H2583H1754H6696H4674H6965H4694 4Then deep from the earth you shall speak, from low in the dust your words shall come; your voice shall come from the ground like the voice of a ghost, and your speech shall whisper out of the dust.H8213H1696H776H565H7817H6083H6963H178H776H565H6850H6083 5But the multitude of your foes shall be like small dust, and the multitude of tyrants like flying chaff. And in an instant, suddenly,H1995H2114H1851H80H1995H6184H4671H5674H6621H6597 6you will be visited by the LORD of hosts with thunder and earthquake and great noise, with whirlwind and tempest, and the flame of a devouring fire.H6485H3068H6635H7482H7494H1419H6963H5492H5591H3851H398H784 7And the multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel, all that fight against her and her stronghold, and who distress her, shall be like a dream, a vision of the night.H1995H1471H6633H740H6638H4685H6693H2472H3915H2377 8Just as when a hungry person dreams of eating and wakes up still hungry, or a thirsty person dreams of drinking and wakes up faint, still thirsty, so shall the multitude of all the nations be that fight against Mount Zion.H7457H2492H398H6974H5315H7386H834H6771H2492H8354H6974H5889H5315H8264H1995H1471H6633H2022H6726 9Stupefy yourselves and be in a stupor, blind yourselves and be blind! Be drunk, but not from wine; stagger, but not from strong drink!H4102H8539H8173H8173H7937H3196H5128H7941 10For the LORD has poured out upon you a spirit of deep sleep; he has closed your eyes, you prophets, and covered your heads, you seers.H3068H5258H7307H8639H6105H5869H5030H7218H2374H3680 11The vision of all this has become for you like the words of a sealed document. If it is given to those who can read, with the command, "Read this," they say, "We cannot, for it is sealed."H2380H1697H5612H2856H5414H3045H559H7121H559H3201H2856 12And if it is given to those who cannot read, saying, "Read this," they say, "We cannot read."H5612H5414H3045H5612H559H7121H559H3045 13The Lord said: Because these people draw near with their mouths and honor me with their lips, while their hearts are far from me, and their worship of me is a human commandment learned by rote;H136H559H3282H5971H5066H6310H8193H3513H7368H3820H7368H3374H3925H4687H582 14so I will again do amazing things with this people, shocking and amazing. The wisdom of their wise shall perish, and the discernment of the discerning shall be hidden.H3254H6381H5971H6381H6382H2451H2450H6H998H995H5641 15Ha! You who hide a plan too deep for the LORD, whose deeds are in the dark, and who say, "Who sees us? Who knows us?"H1945H6009H5641H6098H3068H4639H4285H559H7200H3045 16You turn things upside down! Shall the potter be regarded as the clay? Shall the thing made say of its maker, "He did not make me"; or the thing formed say of the one who formed it, "He has no understanding"?H2017H2803H3335H2563H4639H559H6213H6213H3336H559H3335H995

Hope for the Future

17Shall not Lebanon in a very little while become a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be regarded as a forest?H4213H4592H3844H7725H3759H3759H2803H3293 18On that day the deaf shall hear the words of a scroll, and out of their gloom and darkness the eyes of the blind shall see.H3117H2795H8085H1697H5612H5869H5787H7200H652H2822 19The meek shall obtain fresh joy in the LORD, and the neediest people shall exult in the Holy One of Israel.H6035H3254H8057H3068H34H120H1523H6918H3478 20For the tyrant shall be no more, and the scoffer shall cease to be; all those alert to do evil shall be cut off—H6184H656H3887H3615H8245H205H3772 21those who cause a person to lose a lawsuit, who set a trap for the arbiter in the gate, and without grounds deny justice to the one in the right.H120H2398H1697H6983H3198H8179H5186H6662H8414 22Therefore thus says the LORD, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob: No longer shall Jacob be ashamed, no longer shall his face grow pale.H559H3068H6299H85H1004H3290H3290H954H6440H2357 23For when he sees his children, the work of my hands, in his midst, they will sanctify my name; they will sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and will stand in awe of the God of Israel.H7200H3206H4639H3027H7130H6942H8034H6942H6918H3290H6206H430H3478 24And those who err in spirit will come to understanding, and those who grumble will accept instruction.H8582H7307H3045H998H7279H3925H3948
