Isaiah 29:1-16

29:1

Woe
<01945>

to Ariel
<0740>_,

the city
<07151>

[where] David
<01732>

dwelt
<02583> (8804)_!

add
<05595> (8798)

ye year
<08141>

to year
<08141>_;

let them kill
<05362> (8799)

sacrifices
<02282>_.

{Woe...: or, O Ariel, that is, the lion of God} {the city: or, of the city} {kill: Heb. cut off the heads of}

29:2

Yet I will distress
<06693> (8689)

Ariel
<0740>_,

and there shall be heaviness
<08386>

and sorrow
<0592>_:

and it shall be unto me as Ariel
<0740>_.

29:3

And I will camp
<02583> (8804)

against thee round about
<01754>_,

and will lay siege
<06696> (8804)

against thee with a mount
<04674>_,

and I will raise
<06965> (8689)

forts
<04694>

against thee.

29:4

And thou shalt be brought down
<08213> (8804)_,

[and] shalt speak
<01696> (8762)

out of the ground
<0776>_,

and thy speech
<0565>

shall be low
<07817> (8735)

out of the dust
<06083>_,

and thy voice
<06963>

shall be, as of one that hath a familiar spirit
<0178>_,

out of the ground
<0776>_,

and thy speech
<0565>

shall whisper
<06850> (8770)

out of the dust
<06083>_.

{whisper: Heb. peep, or, chirp}

29:5

Moreover the multitude
<01995>

of thy strangers
<02114> (8801)

shall be like small
<01851>

dust
<080>_,

and the multitude
<01995>

of the terrible ones
<06184>

[shall be] as chaff
<04671>

that passeth away
<05674> (8802)_:

yea, it shall be at an instant
<06621>

suddenly
<06597>_.

29:6

Thou shalt be visited
<06485> (8735)

of the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>

with thunder
<07482>_,

and with earthquake
<07494>_,

and great
<01419>

noise
<06963>_,

with storm
<05492>

and tempest
<05591>_,

and the flame
<03851>

of devouring
<0398> (8802)

fire
<0784>_.

29:7

And the multitude
<01995>

of all the nations
<01471>

that fight
<06633> (8802)

against Ariel
<0740>_,

even all that fight
<06638> (8802)

against her and her munition
<04685>_,

and that distress
<06693> (8688)

her, shall be as a dream
<02472>

of a night
<03915>

vision
<02377>_.

29:8

It shall even be as when an hungry
<07457>

[man] dreameth
<02492> (8799)_,

and, behold, he eateth
<0398> (8802)_;

but he awaketh
<06974> (8689)_,

and his soul
<05315>

is empty
<07386>_:

or as when
<0834>

a thirsty man
<06771>

dreameth
<02492> (8799)_,

and, behold, he drinketh
<08354> (8802)_;

but he awaketh
<06974> (8689)_,

and, behold, [he is] faint
<05889>_,

and his soul
<05315>

hath appetite
<08264> (8802)_:

so shall the multitude
<01995>

of all the nations
<01471>

be, that fight
<06633> (8802)

against mount
<02022>

Zion
<06726>_.

29:9

Stay
<04102> (8697)

yourselves, and wonder
<08539> (8798)_;

cry ye out
<08173> (8697)_,

and cry
<08173> (8798)_:

they are drunken
<07937> (8804)_,

but not with wine
<03196>_;

they stagger
<05128> (8804)_,

but not with strong drink
<07941>_.

{cry ye...: or, take your pleasure, and riot}

29:10

For the LORD
<03068>

hath poured out
<05258> (8804)

upon you the spirit
<07307>

of deep sleep
<08639>_,

and hath closed
<06105> (8762)

your eyes
<05869>_:

the prophets
<05030>

and your rulers
<07218>_,

the seers
<02374>

hath he covered
<03680> (8765)_.

{rulers: Heb. heads}

29:11

And the vision
<02380>

of all is become unto you as the words
<01697>

of a book
<05612>

that is sealed
<02856> (8803)_,

which [men] deliver
<05414> (8799)

to one that is learned
<03045> (8802)_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Read
<07121> (8798)

this, I pray thee: and he saith
<0559> (8804)_,

I cannot
<03201> (8799)_;

for it [is] sealed
<02856> (8803)_:

{book: or, letter}

29:12

And the book
<05612>

is delivered
<05414> (8738)

to him that is not learned
<03045> (8804) <05612>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Read
<07121> (8798)

this, I pray thee: and he saith
<0559> (8804)_,

I am not learned
<03045> (8804)_.

29:13

Wherefore the Lord
<0136>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Forasmuch
<03282>

as this people
<05971>

draw near
<05066> (8738)

[me] with their mouth
<06310>_,

and with their lips
<08193>

do honour
<03513> (8765)

me, but have removed
<07368> (0)

their heart
<03820>

far
<07368> (8765)

from me, and their fear
<03374>

toward me is taught
<03925> (8794)

by the precept
<04687>

of men
<0582>_:

29:14

Therefore, behold, I will proceed
<03254> (8802)

to do a marvellous work
<06381> (8687)

among this people
<05971>_,

[even] a marvellous work
<06381> (8687)

and a wonder
<06382>_:

for the wisdom
<02451>

of their wise
<02450>

[men] shall perish
<06> (8804)_,

and the understanding
<0998>

of their prudent
<0995> (8737)

[men] shall be hid
<05641> (8691)_.

{proceed: Heb. add}

29:15

Woe
<01945>

unto them that seek deep
<06009> (8688)

to hide
<05641> (8687)

their counsel
<06098>

from the LORD
<03068>_,

and their works
<04639>

are in the dark
<04285>_,

and they say
<0559> (8799)_,

Who seeth
<07200> (8802)

us? and who knoweth
<03045> (8802)

us?

29:16

Surely your turning of things upside down
<02017> (8800)

shall be esteemed
<02803> (8735)

as the potter's
<03335> (8802)

clay
<02563>_:

for shall the work
<04639>

say
<0559> (8799)

of him that made
<06213> (8802)

it, He made
<06213> (8804)

me not? or shall the thing framed
<03336>

say
<0559> (8804)

of him that framed
<03335> (8802)

it, He had no understanding
<0995> (8689)_?
