Isaiah 29

Revised Version 1895

1HoH1945 ArielH740, ArielH740, the cityH7151 whereH5921 DavidH1732 encampedH2583! addH5595 ye yearH8141 to yearH8141; let the feastsH2282 come roundH5362: 2then will I distressH6693 ArielH740, and there shall be mourningH592 and lamentation: and she shall be unto meH1961 as ArielH740. 3And I will campH2583 againstH5921 thee round aboutH5921, and will lay siege againstH5921 thee with a fort, and I will raiseH6965 siege worksH5921 againstH5921 thee. 4And thou shalt be broughtH1961 downH7817, and shalt speakH1696 out of the groundH776, and thy speechH1696 shall be lowH8213 out of the dustH6083; and thy voiceH6963 shall be as of one that hath a familiar spiritH178, out of the groundH776, and thy speechH1696 shall whisperH6850 out of the dustH6083. 5But the multitudeH1995 of thy foes shall be like small dustH80, and the multitudeH1995 of the terrible onesH6184 as chaffH4671 that passeth awayH5674: yea, it shall be at an instantH6621 suddenlyH6597. 6SheH5973 shall be visitedH6485 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 with thunderH6963, and with earthquakeH7494, and greatH1419 noiseH6963, with whirlwind and tempestH5591, and the flameH3851 of a devouringH398 fireH784. 7And the multitudeH1995 of allH3605 the nationsH1471 that fight againstH5921 ArielH740, evenH5921 allH3605 that fight againstH5921 herH3605 and herH3605 strong hold, and that distressH6693 herH3605, shall be as a dreamH2472, a visionH2377 of the nightH3915. 8And it shall be as when an hungryH7457 manH5315 dreameth, and, beholdH2009, he eateth; but he awaketh, and his soulH5315 is emptyH7386: or as when a thirstyH6771 manH5315 dreameth, and, beholdH2009, he drinketh; but he awaketh, and, beholdH2009, he is faintH5889, and his soulH5315 hath appetiteH5315: soH3651 shall the multitudeH1995 of allH3605 the nationsH1471 be, that fight againstH5921 mountH2022 ZionH6726. 9Tarry ye and wonderH8539, take your pleasure and be blindH8173: they are drunken, but notH3808 with wineH3196; they staggerH5128, but notH3808 with strongH7941 drinkH7941. 10For the LORDH3068 hath poured outH5921 uponH5921 youH3588 the spiritH7307 of deepH8639 sleepH8639, and hath closedH3680 your eyesH5869, the prophetsH5030; and your headsH7218, the seersH2374, hath he coveredH3680. 11And allH3605 visionH2380 is becomeH1961 unto youH834 as the wordsH1697 of a bookH5612 that is sealedH2856, whichH834 menH3605 deliverH5414 to one that is learnedH3045, sayingH559, ReadH7121 this, I prayH4994 thee: and he saith, I cannotH3808, for it is sealedH2856: 12and the bookH5612 is deliveredH5414 to him that is notH3808 learnedH3045, sayingH559, ReadH7121 this, I prayH4994 thee: and he saith, I am notH3808 learnedH3045. 13And the LordH136 saidH559, Forasmuch as this peopleH5971 drawH5066 nigh unto meH4480, and with their mouthH6310 and with their lipsH8193 doH2088 honour meH4480, but have removedH7368 their heartH3820 farH7368 from meH4480, and their fearH3373 of meH4480 is a commandmentH4687 of menH376 whichH2088 hath been taughtH3925 them: 14therefore, beholdH2005, I will proceed to doH3254 a marvelousH6381 work among this peopleH5971, evenH3651 a marvelousH6381 work and a wonder: and the wisdomH2451 of their wiseH2450 menH2450 shall perishH6, and the understandingH995 of their prudentH995 menH2450 shall be hidH5641. 15WoeH1945 unto them that seekH7200 deepH6009 to hideH5641 their counselH6098 from the LORDH3068, and their worksH4639 are in the darkH4285, and they sayH559, Who seeth usH3045? and who knoweth usH3045? 16Ye turnH995 things upside downH3588! Shall the potterH3335 be countedH2803 as clay; that the thingH3588 madeH6213 should sayH559 of him that madeH6213 it, He madeH6213 meH995 notH3808; or the thingH3588 framed sayH559 of him that framed it, He hath noH3808 understandingH995? 17Is it notH3808 yet a veryH4213 littleH4592 whileH5750, and LebanonH3844 shall be turnedH7725 intoH7725 a fruitfulH3759 fieldH3759, and the fruitfulH3759 fieldH3759 shall be countedH2803 for a forestH3293? 18And in that dayH3117 shall the deafH2795 hearH8085 the wordsH1697 of the bookH5612, and the eyesH5869 of the blindH5787 shall seeH7200 outH7200 of obscurityH2822 and outH7200 of darknessH2822. 19The meek also shall increaseH3254 their joyH8057 in the LORDH3068, and the poorH34 among menH120 shall rejoiceH1523 in the HolyH6918 One of IsraelH3478. 20For the terrible one is broughtH3615 to nought, and the scorner ceaseth, and allH3605 they that watchH8245 for iniquityH205 are cutH3772 offH3772: 21that makeH3198 a manH120 an offender in a causeH1697, and lay a snare for him that reproveth in the gateH8179, and turnH5186 asideH5186 the justH1697 with a thingH1697 of nought. 22Therefore thusH3541 saith the LORDH3068, who redeemedH6299 AbrahamH85, concerning the houseH1004 of JacobH3290: JacobH3290 shall notH3808 nowH6258 be ashamedH954, neitherH3808 shall his faceH6440 nowH6258 wax paleH2357. 23But when he seeth his childrenH3206, the workH4639 of mine handsH3027, in the midstH7130 of him, they shall sanctifyH6942 my nameH8034; yeaH3588, they shall sanctifyH6942 the HolyH6918 One of JacobH3290, and shall standH6206 in aweH6206 of the GodH430 of IsraelH3478. 24They also that errH8582 in spiritH7307 shall come to understandingH998, and they that murmur shall learnH3925 doctrine.
