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.
And I will camp
against thee round about,
and will lay siege
against thee with a mount,
and I will raise
forts
against thee.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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:
And the book
is delivered
to him that is not learned,
saying,
Read
this, I pray thee: and he saith,
I am not learned.
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:
say
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.
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?
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?
wisely

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?
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.
The meek
also shall increase
their joy
in the LORD,
and the poor
among men
shall rejoice
in the Holy One
of Israel.
For the terrible one
is brought to nought,
and the scorner
is consumed,
and all that watch
for iniquity
are cut off:
act lawlessly
ἀνομοῦντες
anomountes
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.
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.
But when he seeth
his children,
the work
of 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.
They also that erred
in spirit
shall come
to understanding,
and they that murmured
shall learn
doctrine.
