Jerusalem
Is Warned |
|
|
 |
| Isaiah 29:1 |
|
Woe, O Ariel, Ariel the city where David once
camped! Add year to year, observe your feasts on schedule. |
|
|
|
|
| Isaiah 29:2 |
|
I will bring distress to Ariel, And she will
be a city of lamenting and mourning; And she will be like an Ariel to me. |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 29:3 |
|
I will camp against you encircling you, And
I will set siegeworks against you, And I will raise up battle towers against you.
|
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 29:4 |
|
Then you will be brought low; From the earth
you will speak, And from the dust where you are prostrate Your words will come.
Your voice will also be like that of a spirit from the ground, And your speech
will whisper from the dust. |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 29:5 |
|
But the multitude of your enemies will become
like fine dust, And the multitude of the ruthless ones like the chaff which blows
away; And it will happen instantly, suddenly. |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 29:6 |
|
From the LORD of hosts you will be punished
with thunder and earthquake and loud noise, With whirlwind and tempest and the
flame of a consuming fire. |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 29:7 |
|
And the multitude of all the nations who wage
war against Ariel, Even all who wage war against her and her stronghold, and who
distress her, Will be like a dream, a vision of the night. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 29:8 |
|
It will be as when a hungry man dreams-- And
behold, he is eating; But when he awakens, his hunger is not satisfied, Or as
when a thirsty man dreams-- And behold, he is drinking, But when he awakens, behold,
he is faint And his thirst is not quenched. Thus the multitude of all the nations
will be Who wage war against Mount Zion. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 29:9 |
|
Be delayed and wait, Blind yourselves and be
blind; They become drunk, but not with wine, They stagger, but not with strong
drink. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 29:10 |
|
For the LORD has poured over you a spirit of
deep sleep, He has shut your eyes, the prophets; And He has covered your heads,
the seers. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 29:11 |
|
The entire vision will be to you like the words
of a sealed book, which when they give it to the one who is literate, saying,
"Please read this," he will say, "I cannot, for it is sealed." |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 29:12 |
|
Then the book will be given to the one who is
illiterate, saying, "Please read this." And he will say, "I cannot read." |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 29:13 |
|
Then the Lord said, "Because this people draw
near with their words And honor Me with their lip service, But they remove their
hearts far from Me, And their reverence for Me consists of tradition learned by
rote, |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 29:14 |
|
Therefore behold, I will once again deal marvelously
with this people, wondrously marvelous; And the wisdom of their wise men will
perish, And the discernment of their discerning men will be concealed." |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 29:15 |
|
Woe to those who deeply hide their plans from
the LORD, And whose deeds are done in a dark place, And they say, "Who sees us?"
or "Who knows us?" |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 29:16 |
|
You turn things around! Shall the potter be
considered as equal with the clay, That what is made would say to its maker, "He
did not make me"; Or what is formed say to him who formed it, "He has no understanding"? |
| |
|
|
| |
|
Blessing after Discipline |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 29:17 |
|
Is it not yet just a little while Before Lebanon
will be turned into a fertile field, And the fertile field will be considered
as a forest? |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 29:18 |
|
On that day the deaf will hear words of a book,
And out of their gloom and darkness the eyes of the blind will see. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 29:19 |
|
The afflicted also will increase their gladness
in the LORD, And the needy of mankind will rejoice in the Holy One of Israel. |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 29:20 |
|
For the ruthless will come to an end and the
scorner will be finished, Indeed all who are intent on doing evil will be cut
off; |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 29:21 |
|
Who cause a person to be indicted by a word,
And ensnare him who adjudicates at the gate, And defraud the one in the right
with meaningless arguments. |
|
|
|
|
| Isaiah 29:22 |
|
Therefore thus says the LORD, who redeemed Abraham,
concerning the house of Jacob: "Jacob shall not now be ashamed, nor shall his
face now turn pale; |
|
|
|
|
| Isaiah 29:23 |
|
But when he sees his children, the work of My
hands, in his midst, They will sanctify My name; Indeed, they will sanctify the
Holy One of Jacob And will stand in awe of the God of Israel. |
|
|
|
|
| Isaiah 29:24 |
|
"Those who err in mind will know the truth,
And those who criticize will accept instruction. |
