Isaiah 29 (RSV) Revised Standard Version

1 Ho Ariel, Ariel, the city where David encamped! Add year to year; let the feasts run their round.
2 Yet I will distress Ariel, and there shall be moaning and lamentation, and she shall be to me like an Ariel.
3 And I will encamp against you round about, and will besiege you with towers and I will raise siegeworks against you.
4 Then deep from the earth you shall speak, from low in the dust your words shall come; your voice shall come from the ground like the voice of a ghost, and your speech shall whisper out of the dust.
5 But the multitude of your foes shall be like small dust, and the multitude of the ruthless like passing chaff. And in an instant, suddenly,
6 you will be visited by the LORD of hosts with thunder and with earthquake and great noise, with whirlwind and tempest, and the flame of a devouring fire.
7 And the multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel, all that fight against her and her stronghold and distress her, shall be like a dream, a vision of the night.
8 As when a hungry man dreams he is eating and awakes with his hunger not satisfied, or as when a thirsty man dreams he is drinking and awakes faint, with his thirst not quenched, so shall the multitude of all the nations be that fight against Mount Zion.
9 Stupefy yourselves and be in a stupor, blind yourselves and be blind! Be drunk, but not with wine; stagger, but not with strong drink!
10 For the LORD has poured out upon you a spirit of deep sleep, and has closed your eyes, the prophets, and covered your heads, the seers.
11 And the vision of all this has become to you like the words of a book that is sealed. When men give it to one who can read, saying, "Read this," he says, "I cannot, for it is sealed."
12 And when they give the book to one who cannot read, saying, "Read this," he says, "I cannot read."
13 And the Lord said: "Because this people draw near with their mouth and honor me with their lips, while their hearts are far from me, and their fear of me is a commandment of men learned by rote;
14 therefore, behold, I will again do marvelous things with this people, wonderful and marvelous; and the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the discernment of their discerning men shall be hid."
15 Woe to those who hide deep from the LORD their counsel, whose deeds are in the dark, and who say, "Who sees us? Who knows us?"
16 You turn things upside down! Shall the potter be regarded as the clay; that the thing made should say of its maker, "He did not make me"; or the thing formed say of him who formed it, "He has no understanding"?
17 Is it not yet a very little while until Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be regarded as a forest?
18 In that day the deaf shall hear the words of a book, and out of their gloom and darkness the eyes of the blind shall see.
19 The meek shall obtain fresh joy in the LORD, and the poor among men shall exult in the Holy One of Israel.
20 For the ruthless shall come to nought and the scoffer cease, and all who watch to do evil shall be cut off,
21 who by a word make a man out to be an offender, and lay a snare for him who reproves in the gate, and with an empty plea turn aside him who is in the right.
22 Therefore thus says the LORD, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob: "Jacob shall no more be ashamed, no more shall his face grow pale.
23 For when he sees his children, the work of my hands, in his midst, they will sanctify my name; they will sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and will stand in awe of the God of Israel.
24 And those who err in spirit will come to understanding, and those who murmur will accept instruction."
1 Woe H1945 to Ariel, H740 to Ariel, H740 the city H7151 where David H1732 dwelt H2583 ! add H5595 ye year H8141 to H5921 year; H8141 let them kill H5362 sacrifices. H2282
2 Yet I will distress H6693 Ariel, H740 and there shall be H1961 heaviness H8386 and sorrow: H592 and it shall be H1961 unto me as Ariel. H740
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 out of the ground H4480 H776 , and thy speech H565 shall be low H7817 out of the dust H4480 H6083 , and thy voice H6963 shall be, H1961 as of one that hath a familiar spirit, H178 out of the ground H4480 H776 , and thy speech H565 shall whisper H6850 out of the dust H4480 H6083 .
5 Moreover the multitude H1995 of thy strangers H2114 shall be H1961 like small H1851 dust, H80 and the multitude H1995 of the terrible ones H6184 shall be as chaff H4671 that passeth away: H5674 yea , it shall be H1961 at an instant H6621 suddenly. H6597
6 Thou shalt be visited H6485 of H4480 H5973 the LORD H3068 of hosts H6635 with thunder, H7482 and with earthquake, H7494 and great H1419 noise, H6963 with storm H5492 and tempest, H5591 and the flame H3851 of devouring H398 fire. H784
7 And the multitude H1995 of all H3605 the nations H1471 that fight H6633 against H5921 Ariel, H740 even all H3605 that fight H6633 against her and her munition, H4685 and that distress H6693 her , shall be H1961 as a dream H2472 of a night H3915 vision. H2377
8 It shall even be H1961 as when H834 a hungry H7457 man dreameth, H2492 and, behold, H2009 he eateth; H398 but he awaketh, H6974 and his soul H5315 is empty: H7386 or as when H834 a thirsty man H6771 dreameth, H2492 and, behold, H2009 he drinketh; H8354 but he awaketh, H6974 and, behold, H2009 he is faint, H5889 and his soul H5315 hath appetite: H8264 so H3651 shall the multitude H1995 of all H3605 the nations H1471 be, H1961 that fight H6633 against H5921 mount H2022 Zion. H6726
9 Stay yourselves, H4102 and wonder; H8539 cry ye out, H8173 and cry: H8173 they are drunken, H7937 but not H3808 with wine; H3196 they stagger, H5128 but not H3808 with strong drink. H7941
10 For H3588 the LORD H3068 hath poured out H5258 upon H5921 you the spirit H7307 of deep sleep, H8639 and hath closed H6105 H853 your eyes: H5869 H853 the prophets H5030 and your rulers, H7218 the seers H2374 hath he covered. H3680
11 And the vision H2380 of all H3605 is become H1961 unto you as the words H1697 of a book H5612 that is sealed, H2856 which H834 men deliver H5414 to H413 one that is learned H3045 H5612 , saying, H559 Read H7121 this, H2088 I pray thee: H4994 and he saith, H559 I cannot H3201 H3808 ; for H3588 it H1931 is sealed: H2856
12 And the book H5612 is delivered H5414 to H5921 him that H834 is not learned H3045 H3808 H5612 , saying, H559 Read H7121 this, H2088 I pray thee: H4994 and he saith, H559 I am not learned H3045 H3808 H5612 .
13 Wherefore the Lord H136 said, H559 Forasmuch H3282 H3588 as this H2088 people H5971 draw near H5066 me with their mouth, H6310 and with their lips H8193 do honor H3513 me , but have removed their heart far H7368 H3820 from H4480 me , and their fear H3374 toward H854 me is H1961 taught H3925 by the precept H4687 of men: H376
14 Therefore H3651 , behold, H2009 I will proceed H3254 to do a marvelous work H6381 among H854 this H2088 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 from the LORD H4480 H3068 , and their works H4639 are H1961 in the dark, H4285 and they say, H559 Who H4310 seeth H7200 us? and who H4310 knoweth H3045 us?
16 Surely H518 your turning of things upside down H2017 shall be esteemed H2803 as the potter's H3335 clay: H2563 for H3588 shall the work H4639 say H559 of him that made H6213 it , He made H6213 me not H3808 ? or shall the thing framed H3336 say H559 of him that framed H3335 it , He had no understanding H995 H3808 ?
17 Is it not H3808 yet H5750 a very H4213 little while, H4592 and Lebanon H3844 shall be turned H7725 into a fruitful field, H3759 and the fruitful field H3759 shall be esteemed H2803 as a forest H3293 ?
18 And in that H1931 day H3117 shall the deaf H2795 hear H8085 the words H1697 of the book, H5612 and the eyes H5869 of the blind H5787 shall see H7200 out of obscurity H4480 H652 , and out of darkness H4480 H2822 .
19 The meek H6035 also shall increase H3254 their joy H8057 in the LORD, H3068 and the poor H34 among men H120 shall rejoice H1523 in the Holy One H6918 of Israel. H3478
20 For H3588 the terrible one H6184 is brought to naught, H656 and the scorner H3887 is consumed, H3615 and all H3605 that watch H8245 for iniquity H205 are cut off: H3772
21 That make a man an offender H2398 H120 for a word, H1697 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 thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD, H3068 who H834 redeemed H6299 H853 Abraham, H85 concerning H413 the house H1004 of Jacob, H3290 Jacob H3290 shall not H3808 now H6258 be ashamed, H954 neither H3808 shall his face H6440 now H6258 wax pale. H2357
23 But when H3588 he seeth H7200 his children, H3206 the work H4639 of mine hands, H3027 in the midst H7130 of him , they shall sanctify H6942 my name, H8034 and sanctify H6942 H853 the Holy One H6918 of Jacob, H3290 and shall fear H6206 the God H430 of Israel. H3478
24 They also that erred H8582 in spirit H7307 shall come H3045 to understanding, H998 and they that murmured H7279 shall learn H3925 doctrine. H3948
