Isa.|29:1|-|Woe to |1|Ariel, to Ariel,The city where David camped!
Add year to year; let the feasts run their course.
Isa.|29:2|-|But I will distress Ariel,And she will become mourning and lamentation
And will be like an Ariel to me.
Isa.|29:3|-|And I will |a|encamp in a circle against you,And will besiege you with palisades,
And will raise up siegeworks against you.
Isa.|29:4|-|And you will be brought down; from the ground you will speak,And your speech will come from low in the dust.
And your voice will be like that of a departed spirit from the ground,And your speech will twitter from the dust.
Isa.|29:5|-|But the multitude of your enemies will be like fine dust,And the multitude of those who terrorize will be like chaff that passes
away;And it will happen in an instant, suddenly.
Isa.|29:6|-|From Jehovah of hosts you will be visited,With thunder and earthquake and great noise,
With whirlwind and tempest and the flame of consuming fire.
Isa.|29:7|-|And the multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel,Even all who fight against her and her stronghold and who distress her,
Will be like a dream, like a vision in the night.
Isa.|29:8|-|And as when a hungry man dreams and finds himself eating,But he awakens and what he desires is not there;
Or as when a thirsty man dreams and finds himself drinking,But he awakens and is indeed faint and what he desires is far from him;
So will the multitude of all the nations beThat fight against Mount Zion.
Isa.|29:9|-|Linger and be astounded,Blind yourselves and be blind.
They are drunk, but not with wine;They stagger, but not with liquor.
Isa.|29:10|-||a|For Jehovah has poured out upon youA spirit of deep sleep
And has shut your |b|eyes, the prophets;And your heads, the seers, He has covered.
Isa.|29:11|-|And all the vision will be to you like the words of a book that has been sealed, which when they give to him who is literate, saying, Please read this, he will say, I am not able to, for it is sealed.
Isa.|29:12|-|Then the book will be given to him who is illiterate, saying, Please read this, and he will say, I am illiterate.
Isa.|29:13|-|And the Lord said,|a|Because this people |1|draws near with their mouth,
And with their lips they honor Me,Yet they remove their heart far from Me,
And their fear for MeIs a commandment of men merely learned;
Isa.|29:14|-|Therefore, indeed, I will once againDo something |a|wondrous with this people, something wondrously marvelous;
And the wisdom of their wise men will |b|perish,And the understanding of those who understand will be hidden.
Isa.|29:15|-|Woe to those who |1|hide deeplyTheir counsel from Jehovah,
And whose deeds are in the darkAnd who say, Who sees us? And, Who knows us?
Isa.|29:16|-|You turn things upside down!Shall the potter be considered to be like the clay,
That |a|what is made should say of him who made it, He did not make me,Or what is formed should say of him who formed it, He has no understanding?
Isa.|29:17|-||1|Is it not yet a little whileBefore Lebanon will be turned into a fruitful field,
And the fruitful field will be considered to be a forest.
Isa.|29:18|-|And in that day the |a|deaf will hear the words of the book,And out of gloom and darkness the eyes of the blind will see,
Isa.|29:19|-|And the |a|afflicted will increase their joy in Jehovah,And the needy of mankind will exult in the Holy One of Israel.
Isa.|29:20|-|For he who terrorizes will cease to be, and the scorner will be consumed,And all who watch for iniquity will be cut off,
Isa.|29:21|-|Those who make a man sin by his wordsAnd ensnare him who judges at the gate
And turn aside the righteous with an empty argument.
Isa.|29:22|-|Therefore thus says Jehovah, who |a|redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob,Jacob will not now be ashamed,
Nor will his face now turn pale;
Isa.|29:23|-|But when he sees his children, the work of My hands, in his midst,They will |a|sanctify My name
And sanctify the Holy One of Jacob,And hold the |b|God of Israel in awe.
Isa.|29:24|-|And those who have erred in spirit will come to understand,And the murmurers will learn teaching.
