Isaiah 29:8-24

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)_?

29:17

[Is] it not yet a very
<04213>

little while
<04592>_,

and Lebanon
<03844>

shall be turned
<07725> (8804)

into a fruitful field
<03759>_,

and the fruitful field
<03759>

shall be esteemed
<02803> (8735)

as a forest
<03293>_?

29:18

And in that day
<03117>

shall the deaf
<02795>

hear
<08085> (8804)

the words
<01697>

of the book
<05612>_,

and the eyes
<05869>

of the blind
<05787>

shall see
<07200> (8799)

out of obscurity
<0652>_,

and out of darkness
<02822>_.

29:19

The meek
<06035>

also shall increase
<03254> (8804)

[their] joy
<08057>

in the LORD
<03068>_,

and the poor
<034>

among men
<0120>

shall rejoice
<01523> (8799)

in the Holy One
<06918>

of Israel
<03478>_.

{increase: Heb. add}

29:20

For the terrible one
<06184>

is brought to nought
<0656> (8804)_,

and the scorner
<03887> (8801)

is consumed
<03615> (8804)_,

and all that watch
<08245> (8802)

for iniquity
<0205>

are cut off
<03772> (8738)_:

29:21

That make a man
<0120>

an offender
<02398> (8688)

for a word
<01697>_,

and lay a snare
<06983> (8799)

for him that reproveth
<03198> (8688)

in the gate
<08179>_,

and turn aside
<05186> (8686)

the just
<06662>

for a thing of nought
<08414>_.

29:22

Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

who redeemed
<06299> (8804)

Abraham
<085>_,

concerning the house
<01004>

of Jacob
<03290>_,

Jacob
<03290>

shall not now be ashamed
<0954> (8799)_,

neither shall his face
<06440>

now wax pale
<02357> (8799)_.

29:23

But when he seeth
<07200> (8800)

his children
<03206>_,

the work
<04639>

of mine hands
<03027>_,

in the midst
<07130>

of him, they shall sanctify
<06942> (8686)

my name
<08034>_,

and sanctify
<06942> (8689)

the Holy One
<06918>

of Jacob
<03290>_,

and shall fear
<06206> (8686)

the God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_.

29:24

They also that erred
<08582> (8802)

in spirit
<07307>

shall come
<03045> (8804)

to understanding
<0998>_,

and they that murmured
<07279> (8803)

shall learn
<03925> (8799)

doctrine
<03948>_.

{come...: Heb. know understanding}
