Isa 29
1 Woe O City of Ariel
Woe city of Ariel, which David waged war. Gather together produce year by year! for you shall eat with Moab.
2For I will squeeze Ariel, and [
5will be
1her
2strength
3and
4riches] mine.
3And I will encircle as David upon you, and I will throw up [
2around
3you
1a siege mound], and I will build, and I will set [
2around
3you
1towers].
4And [
2shall be abased
1your words] unto the ground. And unto the ground your words shall go down. And [
2will be
3as
4the ones
5speaking out loud
6from out of
7the
8earth
1your voice]; and to the ground your voice shall weaken.
5And [
5will be
6as
7a cloud of dust
8from
9a wheel
1the
2riches
3of the
4impious]; and [
6will be as
7dust
8being borne about
1the
2multitude
3of the ones
4afflicting
5you]; and it will be [
2as
3a moment
1immediate],
6by
the LORD of Hosts; [
3a visitation
1for
2there will be] with thunder, and earthquake, and [
2sound
1a great], a blast being borne about, and a flame of fire devouring.
7And [
6will be
7as
8ones dreaming
9in
10sleep
1the
2riches
3of all
4the
5nations], as many as march against Ariel, and all the ones soldiering against Jerusalem, and all the ones gathering together against her, and the ones afflicting her.
8And it shall be as the ones in sleep drinking and eating and rising up. [
4is vain
3of them
1the
2dream], and in which manner [
5shall dream
1the one
2thirsting
3and
4drinking], and rising up they still thirst, and his soul [
2in
3vain
1hoped], so will be the riches of all the nations, as many as marched against mount Zion.
9 Spirit of Vexation
Be loosened! Be amazed and be dizzy! Not from liquor nor from wine.
10For [
2has given you to drink
1the LORD] a spirit of vexation. And he will close the eyelids of their eyes, and their prophets, and their rulers, the ones seeing the hidden
things.
11And [
4shall be
5to you
1all
3sayings
2these] as the words [
2scroll
3having a seal set upon it
1of this]; which if they should give it to a man having knowledge of letters, saying, Read these
things! Then he shall say, I am not able to read, for it is sealed.
12And [
3will be given
2scroll
1this] into
the hands of a man not having knowledge of letters. And
one shall say to him, Read this! And he shall say, I do not have knowledge of letters.
13And
the LORD said, [
2approach
3unto me
1this people] with
their mouth, and by their lips they esteem me, but their heart is far off at a distance from me; and in vain they worship me, teaching
the precepts [
3of men
1and
2instructions].
14On account of this, behold, I shall proceed to transpose this people; and I will transpose them, and I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; and [
2the
3understanding
4of the
5discerning
1I will hide].
15Woe to the ones deeply [
2plans
1making], and not according to
the LORD. Woe to the ones [
3in
4secret
2plans
1making]. And [
2shall be
3in
4darkness
1their works], and they shall say, Who has seen us, and who shall know us or what we do?
16[
2not
4as
5clay
6for the
7potter
1Shall you
3be considered]? Shall [
3say
1the
2thing shaped] to the one shaping, You did not shape me. Or the thing made by the one making it, [
2not
3expertly
1You did] make me?
17 The Deaf-mutes Shall Hear
No longer a little
while and [
2shall be transposed
1Lebanon] as the mountain of fruitful field; and the mountain of fruitful field [
2as
3a forest
1shall be considered].
18And [
4shall hear
1in
2that day
3deaf-mutes]
the words of
the scroll; and the ones in darkness, and the ones in fog --
the eyes of
the blind will see,
19and [
2shall exult
1the poor] because of
the LORD with gladness, and the ones despairing of men shall be filled up with gladness.
20[
2failed
1The lawless one], and [
2is destroyed
1the proud one], and [
5shall be utterly destroyed
1the ones
2acting lawlessly
3concerning
4evil],
21even the ones causing [
2to sin
1men] by a word. [
3all
1And
4the ones
5reproving
6at
7the gates
8to be considered for stumbling
2men shall make], for they bent away [
2by
3unjust
acts 1the just one].
22On account of this, thus says
the LORD concerning the house of Jacob, whom he separated from Abraham, [
3not
4now
2shall
5be ashamed
1Jacob], nor now [
2countenance
1shall Israel change].
23But whenever [
2shall behold
1their children] my works, because of me they shall sanctify my name, and they shall sanctify the holy one of Jacob, and [
2the
3God
4of Israel
1they shall fear].
24And [
5shall know
1the ones
2wandering
3in the
4spirit] understanding, and the ones grumbling shall learn to obey, and the [
2tongues
1stuttering] shall learn to speak peace.
