Isaiah 29
29"Woe to Ariel, to Ariel, the city where David dwelt! Add year to year; Let feasts come around.H1945H740H740H7151H1732H2583H5595H8141H8141H5362H22822Yet I will distress Ariel; There shall be heaviness and sorrow, And it shall be to Me as Ariel.H6693H740H8386H592H7403I will encamp against you all around, I will lay siege against you with a mound, And I will raise siegeworks against you.H2583H1754H6696H4674H6965H46944You shall be brought down, You shall speak out of the ground; Your speech shall be low, out of the dust; Your voice shall be like a medium's, out of the ground; And your speech shall whisper out of the dust.H8213H1696H776H565H7817H6083H6963H178H776H565H6850H60835"Moreover the multitude of your foes Shall be like fine dust, And the multitude of the terrible ones Like chaff that passes away; Yes, it shall be in an instant, suddenly.H1995H2114H1851H80H1995H6184H4671H5674H6621H65976You will be punished by the LORD of hosts With thunder and earthquake and great noise, With storm and tempest And the flame of devouring fire.H6485H3068H6635H7482H7494H1419H6963H5492H5591H3851H398H7847The multitude of all the nations who fight against Ariel, Even all who fight against her and her fortress, And distress her, Shall be as a dream of a night vision.H1995H1471H6633H740H6638H4685H6693H2472H3915H23778It shall even be as when a hungry man dreams, And look—he eats; But he awakes, and his soul is still empty; Or as when a thirsty man dreams, And look—he drinks; But he awakes, and indeed he is faint, And his soul still craves: So the multitude of all the nations shall be, Who fight against Mount Zion."H7457H2492H398H6974H5315H7386H834H6771H2492H8354H6974H5889H5315H8264H1995H1471H6633H2022H67269Pause and wonder! Blind yourselves and be blind! They are drunk, but not with wine; They stagger, but not with intoxicating drink.H4102H8539H8173H8173H7937H3196H5128H794110For the LORD has poured out on you The spirit of deep sleep, And has closed your eyes, namely, the prophets; And He has covered your heads, namely, the seers.H3068H5258H7307H8639H6105H5869H5030H7218H2374H368011The whole vision has become to you like the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one who is literate, saying, "Read this, please." And he says, "I cannot, for it is sealed."H2380H1697H5612H2856H5414H3045H559H7121H559H3201H285612Then the book is delivered to one who is illiterate, saying, "Read this, please." And he says, "I am not literate."H5612H5414H3045H5612H559H7121H559H304513Therefore the LORD said: "Inasmuch as these people draw near with their mouths And honor Me with their lips, But have removed their hearts far from Me, And their fear toward Me is taught by the commandment of men,H136H559H3282H5971H5066H6310H8193H3513H7368H3820H7368H3374H3925H4687H58214Therefore, behold, I will again do a marvelous work Among this people, A marvelous work and a wonder; For the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, And the understanding of their prudent men shall be hidden."H3254H6381H5971H6381H6382H2451H2450H6H998H995H564115Woe to those who seek deep to hide their counsel far from the LORD, And their works are in the dark; They say, "Who sees us?" and, "Who knows us?"H1945H6009H5641H6098H3068H4639H4285H559H7200H304516Surely you have things turned around! Shall the potter be esteemed as the clay; For shall the thing made say of him who made it, "He did not make me"? Or shall the thing formed say of him who formed it, "He has no understanding"?H2017H2803H3335H2563H4639H559H6213H6213H3336H559H3335H99517Is it not yet a very little while Till Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field, And the fruitful field be esteemed as a forest?H4213H4592H3844H7725H3759H3759H2803H329318In that day the deaf shall hear the words of the book, And the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity and out of darkness.H3117H2795H8085H1697H5612H5869H5787H7200H652H282219The humble also shall increase their joy in the LORD, And the poor among men shall rejoice In the Holy One of Israel.H6035H3254H8057H3068H34H120H1523H6918H347820For the terrible one is brought to nothing, The scornful one is consumed, And all who watch for iniquity are cut off—H6184H656H3887H3615H8245H205H377221Who make a man an offender by a word, And lay a snare for him who reproves in the gate, And turn aside the just by empty words.H120H2398H1697H6983H3198H8179H5186H6662H841422Therefore thus says the LORD, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob: "Jacob shall not now be ashamed, Nor shall his face now grow pale;H559H3068H6299H85H1004H3290H3290H954H6440H235723But when he sees his children, The work of My hands, in his midst, They will hallow My name, And hallow the Holy One of Jacob, And fear the God of Israel.H7200H3206H4639H3027H7130H6942H8034H6942H6918H3290H6206H430H347824These also who erred in spirit will come to understanding, And those who complained will learn doctrine."H8582H7307H3045H998H7279H3925H3948
