1Woe1945 to Ariel740, to Ariel740, the city7151 where David1732 dwelt2583! add5595 ye year8141 to year8141; let them kill5362 sacrifices2282.
2Yet I will distress6693 Ariel740, and there shall be heaviness8386 and sorrow592: and it shall be unto me as Ariel740.
3And I will camp2583 against thee round about1754, and will lay siege6696 against thee with a mount4674, and I will raise6965 forts4694 against thee.
4And thou shalt be brought down8213, and shalt speak1696 out of the ground776, and thy speech565 shall be low7817 out of the dust6083, and thy voice6963 shall be, as of one that hath a familiar spirit178, out of the ground776, and thy speech565 shall whisper6850 out of the dust6083.
5Moreover the multitude1995 of thy strangers2114 shall be like small1851 dust80, and the multitude1995 of the terrible ones6184 shall be as chaff4671 that passeth away5674: yea, it shall be at an instant6621 suddenly6597.
6Thou shalt be visited6485 of the LORD3068 of hosts6635 with thunder7482, and with earthquake7494, and great1419 noise6963, with storm5492 and tempest5591, and the flame3851 of devouring398 fire784.
7And the multitude1995 of all the nations1471 that fight6633 against Ariel740, even all that fight6638 against her and her munition4685, and that distress6693 her, shall be as a dream2472 of a night3915 vision2377.
8It shall even be as when an hungry7457 man dreameth2492, and, behold, he eateth398; but he awaketh6974, and his soul5315 is empty7386: or as when834 a thirsty man6771 dreameth2492, and, behold, he drinketh8354; but he awaketh6974, and, behold, he is faint5889, and his soul5315 hath appetite8264: so shall the multitude1995 of all the nations1471 be, that fight6633 against mount2022 Zion6726.
9Stay4102 yourselves, and wonder8539; cry ye out8173, and cry8173: they are drunken7937, but not with wine3196; they stagger5128, but not with strong drink7941.
10For the LORD3068 hath poured out5258 upon you the spirit7307 of deep sleep8639, and hath closed6105 your eyes5869: the prophets5030 and your rulers7218, the seers2374 hath he covered3680.
11And the vision2380 of all is become unto you as the words1697 of a book5612 that is sealed2856, which men deliver5414 to one that is learned3045, saying559, Read7121 this, I pray thee: and he saith559, I cannot3201; for it is sealed2856:
12And the book5612 is delivered5414 to him that is not learned3045 5612, saying559, Read7121 this, I pray thee: and he saith559, I am not learned3045.
13Wherefore the Lord136 said559, Forasmuch3282 as this people5971 draw near5066 me with their mouth6310, and with their lips8193 do honour3513 me, but have removed7368 their heart3820 far7368 from me, and their fear3374 toward me is taught3925 by the precept4687 of men582:
14Therefore, behold, I will proceed3254 to do a marvellous work6381 among this people5971, even a marvellous work6381 and a wonder6382: for the wisdom2451 of their wise2450 men shall perish6, and the understanding998 of their prudent995 men shall be hid5641.
15Woe1945 unto them that seek deep6009 to hide5641 their counsel6098 from the LORD3068, and their works4639 are in the dark4285, and they say559, Who seeth7200 us? and who knoweth3045 us?
16Surely your turning of things upside down2017 shall be esteemed2803 as the potter's3335 clay2563: for shall the work4639 say559 of him that made6213 it, He made6213 me not? or shall the thing framed3336 say559 of him that framed3335 it, He had no understanding995?
17Is it not yet a very4213 little while4592, and Lebanon3844 shall be turned7725 into a fruitful field3759, and the fruitful field3759 shall be esteemed2803 as a forest3293?
18And in that day3117 shall the deaf2795 hear8085 the words1697 of the book5612, and the eyes5869 of the blind5787 shall see7200 out of obscurity652, and out of darkness2822.
19The meek6035 also shall increase3254 their joy8057 in the LORD3068, and the poor34 among men120 shall rejoice1523 in the Holy One6918 of Israel3478.
20For the terrible one6184 is brought to nought656, and the scorner3887 is consumed3615, and all that watch8245 for iniquity205 are cut off3772:
21That make a man120 an offender2398 for a word1697, and lay a snare6983 for him that reproveth3198 in the gate8179, and turn aside5186 the just6662 for a thing of nought8414.
22Therefore thus saith559 the LORD3068, who redeemed6299 Abraham85, concerning the house1004 of Jacob3290, Jacob3290 shall not now be ashamed954, neither shall his face6440 now wax pale2357.
23But when he seeth7200 his children3206, the work4639 of mine hands3027, in the midst7130 of him, they shall sanctify6942 my name8034, and sanctify6942 the Holy One6918 of Jacob3290, and shall fear6206 the God430 of Israel3478.
24They also that erred8582 in spirit7307 shall come3045 to understanding998, and they that murmured7279 shall learn3925 doctrine3948.
