Isaiah 29:1-8
1WoeH1945, O 1ArielH740, 2ArielH740 the cityH7151 where DavidH1732 once 3campedH2583! AddH3254 yearH8141 to yearH8141, 45observeH5362 your feastsH2282 on scheduleH5362.2I will bringH6693 distressH6693 to ArielH740, And she will be a city of lamentingH8386 and 6mourningH592; And she will be like an ArielH740 to me.3I will 7campH2583 againstH5921 you 8encirclingH1754 you, And I will setH6696 siegeworksH4674 againstH5921 you, And I will raiseH6965 up battleH4694 towersH4694 againstH5921 you.4Then you will 9be broughtH8213 lowH8213; From the earthH776 you will speakH1696, And from the dustH6083 where you are prostrateH7817 Your wordsH565 will come. Your voiceH6963 will also be like that of a 10spiritH178 from the groundH776, And your speechH565 will whisperH6850 from the dustH6083.
5But the multitudeH1995 of your 11enemiesH2114 will becomeH1961 like fineH1851 12dustH80, And the multitudeH1995 of the 13ruthlessH6184 onesH6184 like the chaffH4671 which 14blowsH5674 awayH5674; And it will happenH1961 15instantlyH6621, suddenlyH6597.6From the LordH3068 of hostsH6635 you will be 16punishedH6485 with 17thunderH7482 and earthquakeH7494 and loudH1419 noiseH6963, With whirlwindH5492 and tempestH5591 and the flameH3851 of a consumingH398 fireH784.7And the 18multitudeH1995 of allH3605 the nationsH1471 who wageH6633 warH6633 againstH5921 19ArielH740, Even allH3605 who wageH6633 warH6633 against her and her strongholdH4685, and who distressH6693 her, Will be like a dreamH2472, a 20visionH2377 of the nightH3915.8It will be as whenH3512 a hungryH7457 manH7457 dreamsH2492-- And beholdH2009, he is eatingH398; But when he awakensH7019, his 21hungerH5315 is not satisfiedH7386, Or as whenH3512 a thirstyH6771 manH6771 dreamsH2492-- And beholdH2009, he is drinkingH8354, But when he awakensH7019, beholdH2009, he is faintH5889 And his 22thirstH5315 is not quenchedH8264. 23ThusH3651 the multitudeH1995 of allH3605 the nationsH1471 will be Who wageH6633 warH6633 againstH5921 MountH2022 ZionH6726.
