Isaiah 29:1 (NET) New English Translation

1 Ariel is as good as dead— Ariel, the town David besieged! Keep observing your annual rituals, celebrate your festivals on schedule.
2 I will threaten Ariel, and she will mourn intensely and become like an altar hearth before me.
3 I will lay siege to you on all sides; I will besiege you with troops; I will raise siege works against you.
4 You will fall; while lying on the ground you will speak; from the dust where you lie, your words will be heard. Your voice will sound like a spirit speaking from the underworld; from the dust you will chirp as if muttering an incantation.
5 But the horde of invaders will be like fine dust, the horde of tyrants like chaff that is blown away. It will happen suddenly, in a flash.
6 Judgment will come from the LORD who commands armies, accompanied by thunder, earthquake, and a loud noise, by a strong gale, a windstorm, and a consuming flame of fire.
7 It will be like a dream, a night vision. There will be a horde from all the nations that fight against Ariel, those who attack her and her stronghold and besiege her.
8 It will be like a hungry man dreaming that he is eating, only to awaken and find that his stomach is empty. It will be like a thirsty man dreaming that he is drinking, only to awaken and find that he is still weak and his thirst unquenched. So it will be for the horde from all the nations that fight against Mount Zion.
9 You will be shocked and amazed! You are totally blind! They are drunk, but not because of wine; they stagger, but not because of beer.
10 For the LORD has poured out on you a strong urge to sleep deeply. He has shut your eyes (the prophets), and covered your heads (the seers).
11 To you this entire prophetic revelation is like words in a sealed scroll. When they hand it to one who can read and say, "Read this," he responds, "I can't, because it is sealed."
12 Or when they hand the scroll to one who can't read and say, "Read this," he says, "I can't read."
13 The sovereign master says, "These people say they are loyal to me; they say wonderful things about me, but they are not really loyal to me. Their worship consists of nothing but man-made ritual.
14 Therefore I will again do an amazing thing for these people— an absolutely extraordinary deed. Wise men will have nothing to say, the sages will have no explanations."
15 Those who try to hide their plans from the LORD are as good as dead, who do their work in secret and boast, "Who sees us? Who knows what we're doing?"
16 Your thinking is perverse! Should the potter be regarded as clay? Should the thing made say about its maker, "He didn't make me"? Or should the pottery say about the potter, "He doesn't understand"?
17 In just a very short time Lebanon will turn into an orchard, and the orchard will be considered a forest.
18 At that time the deaf will be able to hear words read from a scroll, and the eyes of the blind will be able to see through deep darkness.
19 The downtrodden will again rejoice in the LORD; the poor among humankind will take delight in the Holy One of Israel.
20 For tyrants will disappear, those who taunt will vanish, and all those who love to do wrong will be eliminated—
21 those who bear false testimony against a person, who entrap the one who arbitrates at the city gate and deprive the innocent of justice by making false charges.
22 So this is what the LORD, the one who delivered Abraham, says to the family of Jacob: "Jacob will no longer be ashamed; their faces will no longer show their embarrassment.
23 For when they see their children, whom I will produce among them, they will honor my name. They will honor the Holy One of Jacob; they will respect the God of Israel.
24 Those who stray morally will gain understanding; those who complain will acquire insight.
1 Woe H1945 to Ariel H740 , to Ariel H740 , the city H7151 where David H1732 dwelt H2583 ! add H5595 ye year H8141 NFS to H5921 PREP year H8141 NFS ; let them kill H5362 sacrifices H2282 .

3 And I will camp H2583 against H5921 thee round about H1754 , and will lay siege H6696 against H5921 thee with a mount H4674 , and I will raise H6965 forts H4694 against H5921 thee .
4 And thou shalt be brought down H8213 , and shalt speak H1696 VPY2FS out of the ground H776 M-NFS , and thy speech H565 shall be low H7817 out of the dust H6083 , and thy voice H6963 shall be H1961 W-VQQ3MS , as of one that hath a familiar spirit H178 , out of the ground H776 M-NFS , and thy speech H565 shall whisper H6850 out of the dust H6083 WM-NMS .
5 Moreover the multitude H1995 of thy strangers H2114 shall be H1961 W-VQQ3MS like small H1851 dust H80 , and the multitude H1995 of the terrible ones H6184 shall be as chaff H4671 WK-NMS that passeth away H5674 : yea , it shall be H1961 W-VQQ3MS at an instant H6621 suddenly H6597 ADV .
6 Thou shalt be visited H6485 of M-PREP the LORD H3068 EDS of hosts H6635 with thunder H7482 , and with earthquake H7494 , and great H1419 AMS noise H6963 W-CMS , with storm H5492 NFS and tempest H5591 , and the flame H3851 W-NMS of devouring H398 fire H784 CMS .
7 And the multitude H1995 of all H3605 NMS the nations H1471 D-NMP that fight H6633 against H5921 PREP Ariel H740 , even all H3605 NMS that fight H6633 against her and her munition H4685 , and that distress H6693 her , shall be H1961 W-VQQ3MS as a dream H2472 of a night H3915 GMS vision H2377 .
8 It shall even be H1961 W-VQQ3MS as when H834 K-RPRO a hungry H7457 man dreameth H2492 , and , behold H2009 IJEC , he eateth H398 ; but he awaketh H6974 , and his soul H5315 NMS-3MS is empty H7386 : or as when H834 a thirsty man H6771 dreameth H2492 , and , behold H2009 IJEC , he drinketh H8354 VQPMS ; but he awaketh H6974 , and , behold H2009 IJEC , he is faint H5889 AMS , and his soul H5315 W-CFS-3MS hath appetite H8264 : so H3651 ADV shall the multitude H1995 of all H3605 NMS the nations H1471 D-NMP be H1961 W-VQQ3MS , that fight H6633 against H5921 PREP mount H2022 CMS Zion H6726 .
9 Stay yourselves H4102 , and wonder H8539 ; cry ye out H8173 , and cry H8173 : they are drunken H7937 , but not H3808 W-NPAR with wine H3196 NMS ; they stagger H5128 , but not H3808 W-NPAR with strong drink H7941 .
10 For H3588 CONJ the LORD H3068 EDS hath poured out H5258 upon H5921 PREP-2MP you the spirit H7307 NFS of deep sleep H8639 NFS , and hath closed H6105 your eyes H5869 CMP-2MP : the prophets H5030 and your rulers H7218 , the seers H2374 hath he covered H3680 VPQ3MS .
11 And the vision H2380 of all H3605 is become H1961 W-VQY3FS unto you as the words H1697 of a book H5612 that is sealed H2856 , which H834 RPRO men deliver H5414 to H413 PREP one that is learned H3045 VQPMS , saying H559 L-VQFC , Read H7121 VQI2MP this H2088 DPRO , I pray thee H4994 IJEC : and he saith H559 , I cannot H3201 ; for H3588 CONJ it H1931 PPRO-3MS is sealed H2856 :
12 And the book H5612 is delivered H5414 to H5921 PREP him that H834 RPRO is not learned H3045 VQQ3MS , saying H559 L-VQFC , Read H7121 VQI2MP this H2088 DPRO , I pray thee H4994 IJEC : and he saith H559 , I am not learned H3045 VQY1MS .
13 Wherefore the Lord H136 EDS said H559 W-VQY3MS , Forasmuch H3282 ADV as this H2088 D-PMS people H5971 draw near H5066 me with their mouth H6310 B-CMS-3MS , and with their lips H8193 do honor H3513 me , but have removed their heart far H7368 from H4480 M-PREP-1MS me , and their fear H3374 toward H854 me is H1961 W-VQY3FS taught H3925 by the precept H4687 CFS of men H376 NMP :
14 Therefore H3651 L-ADV , behold H2009 , I will proceed H3254 to do a marvelous work H6381 among H854 PREP this H2088 D-PMS people H5971 , even a marvelous work H6381 and a wonder H6382 : for the wisdom H2451 of their wise H2450 men shall perish H6 , and the understanding H998 of their prudent H995 men shall be hid H5641 .
15 Woe H1945 unto them that seek deep H6009 to hide H5641 their counsel H6098 NFS from the LORD H3068 , and their works H4639 are H1961 W-VQQ3MS in the dark H4285 , and they say H559 W-VQY3MP , Who H4310 W-IPRO seeth H7200 us ? and who H4310 W-IPRO knoweth H3045 us ?
16 Surely H518 PART your turning of things upside down H2017 shall be esteemed H2803 as the potter H3335 \'s clay H2563 K-CMS : for H3588 CONJ shall the work H4639 NMS say H559 VQY3MS of him that made H6213 it , He made H6213 me not H3808 NADV ? or shall the thing framed H3336 say H559 VQQ3MS of him that framed H3335 it , He had no understanding H995 ?
17 Is it not H3808 D-NPAR yet H5750 ADV a very H4213 little while H4592 AMS , and Lebanon H3844 shall be turned H7725 W-VQQ3MS into a fruitful field H3759 , and the fruitful field H3759 shall be esteemed H2803 as a forest H3293 ?
18 And in that H1931 D-PPRO-3MS day H3117 shall the deaf H2795 hear H8085 the words H1697 CMP of the book H5612 CMS , and the eyes H5869 CMD of the blind H5787 shall see H7200 out of obscurity H652 , and out of darkness H2822 .
19 The meek H6035 also shall increase H3254 their joy H8057 in the LORD H3068 , and the poor H34 among men H120 NMS shall rejoice H1523 in the Holy One H6918 of Israel H3478 .
20 For H3588 CONJ the terrible one H6184 is brought to naught H656 , and the scorner H3887 is consumed H3615 , and all H3605 NMS that watch H8245 for iniquity H205 NMS are cut off H3772 :
21 That make a man an offender H2398 for a word H1697 B-NMS , and lay a snare H6983 for him that reproveth H3198 in the gate H8179 , and turn aside H5186 the just H6662 for a thing of naught H8414 .
22 Therefore H3651 L-ADV thus H3541 saith H559 VQQ3MS the LORD H3068 EDS , who H834 RPRO redeemed H6299 VQQ3MS Abraham H85 , concerning H413 PREP the house H1004 CMS of Jacob H3290 , Jacob H3290 shall not H3808 ADV now H6258 ADV be ashamed H954 , neither H3808 W-NADV shall his face H6440 CMP-3MS now H6258 ADV wax pale H2357 .
23 But when H3588 CONJ he seeth H7200 his children H3206 , the work H4639 M-CMS of mine hands H3027 , in the midst H7130 of him , they shall sanctify H6942 my name H8034 , and sanctify H6942 the Holy One H6918 of Jacob H3290 , and shall fear H6206 the God H430 CDP of Israel H3478 .
24 They also that erred H8582 in spirit H7307 NFS shall come H3045 to understanding H998 NFS , and they that murmured H7279 shall learn H3925 doctrine H3948 .
