|
Woe to Ariel, to Ariel, the city where David
dwelt! add ye year to year; let them kill sacrifices. |
|
|
|
|

Yet I will distress Ariel, and there shall be
heaviness and sorrow: and it shall be unto me as Ariel. |
| |
|

will lay siege against thee with a mount, and I will raise forts against thee. |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 29:4 |
|
And thou shalt be brought down, and shalt speak
out of the ground, and thy speech shall be low out of the dust, and thy voice
shall be, as of one that hath a familiar spirit, out of the ground, and thy speech
shall whisper out of the dust. |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 29:5 |

Moreover the multitude of thy strangers shall
be like small dust, and the multitude of the terrible ones shall be as chaff that
passeth away: yea, it shall be at an instant suddenly. |

Thou shalt be visited of the LORD of hosts with
thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise, with storm and tempest, and the
flame of devouring fire. |
| |

And the multitude of all the nations that fight
against Ariel, even all that fight against her and her munition, and that distress
her, shall be as a dream of a night vision. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 29:8 |
|
It shall even be as when an hungry man dreameth,
and, behold, he eateth; but he awaketh, and his soul is empty: or as when a thirsty
man dreameth, and, behold, he drinketh; but he awaketh, and, behold, he is faint,
and his soul hath appetite: so shall the multitude of all the nations be, that
fight against mount Zion. |
|
|
|

Stay yourselves, and wonder; cry ye out, and
cry: they are drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 29:10 |

For the LORD hath poured out upon you the spirit
of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers
hath he covered. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 29:11 |
|
And the vision of all is become unto you as
the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one that is learned,
saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I cannot; for it is sealed: |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 29:12 |
|
And the book is delivered to him that is not
learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 29:13 |
|
Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people
draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed
their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of
men: |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 29:14 |
|
Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous
work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of
their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall
be hid. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 29:15 |
|
Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel
from the LORD, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and
who knoweth us? |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 29:16 |
|
Surely your turning of things upside down shall
be esteemed as the potter's clay: for shall the work say of him that made it,
He made me not? or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, He had no
understanding? |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 29:17 |
|
Is it not yet a very little while, and Lebanon
shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be esteemed
as a forest? |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 29:18 |
|
And in that day shall the deaf hear the words
of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity, and out of
darkness. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 29:19 |
|
The meek also shall increase their joy in the
LORD, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel. |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 29:20 |
|
For the terrible one is brought to nought, and
the scorner is consumed, and all that watch for iniquity are cut off: |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 29:21 |
|
That make a man an offender for a word, and
lay a snare for him that reproveth in the gate, and turn aside the just for a
thing of nought. |
|
|
|
|
| Isaiah 29:22 |

Therefore thus saith the LORD, who redeemed
Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob, Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither
shall his face now wax pale. |
|
|
|
|

mine hands, in the midst of him, they shall sanctify my name, and sanctify the
Holy One of Jacob, and shall fear the God of Israel. |

understanding, and they that murmured shall learn doctrine. |
