Dual Panel1Woe <01945> to Ariel <0740>_, to Ariel <0740>_, the city <07151> [where] David <01732> dwelt <02583> (8804)_! add <05595> (8798) ye year <08141> to year <08141>_; let them kill <05362> (8799) sacrifices <02282>_. {Woe...: or, O Ariel, that is, the lion of God} {the city: or, of the city} {kill: Heb. cut off the heads of}
2Yet I will distress <06693> (8689) Ariel <0740>_, and there shall be heaviness <08386> and sorrow <0592>_: and it shall be unto me as Ariel <0740>_.
3And I will camp <02583> (8804) against thee round about <01754>_, and will lay siege <06696> (8804) against thee with a mount <04674>_, and I will raise <06965> (8689) forts <04694> against thee.
4And thou shalt be brought down <08213> (8804)_, [and] shalt speak <01696> (8762) out of the ground <0776>_, and thy speech <0565> shall be low <07817> (8735) out of the dust <06083>_, and thy voice <06963> shall be, as of one that hath a familiar spirit <0178>_, out of the ground <0776>_, and thy speech <0565> shall whisper <06850> (8770) out of the dust <06083>_. {whisper: Heb. peep, or, chirp}
5Moreover the multitude <01995> of thy strangers <02114> (8801) shall be like small <01851> dust <080>_, and the multitude <01995> of the terrible ones <06184> [shall be] as chaff <04671> that passeth away <05674> (8802)_: yea, it shall be at an instant <06621> suddenly <06597>_.
6Thou shalt be visited <06485> (8735) of the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635> with thunder <07482>_, and with earthquake <07494>_, and great <01419> noise <06963>_, with storm <05492> and tempest <05591>_, and the flame <03851> of devouring <0398> (8802) fire <0784>_.
7And the multitude <01995> of all the nations <01471> that fight <06633> (8802) against Ariel <0740>_, even all that fight <06638> (8802) against her and her munition <04685>_, and that distress <06693> (8688) her, shall be as a dream <02472> of a night <03915> vision <02377>_.
8It shall even be as when an hungry <07457> [man] dreameth <02492> (8799)_, and, behold, he eateth <0398> (8802)_; but he awaketh <06974> (8689)_, and his soul <05315> is empty <07386>_: or as when <0834> a thirsty man <06771> dreameth <02492> (8799)_, and, behold, he drinketh <08354> (8802)_; but he awaketh <06974> (8689)_, and, behold, [he is] faint <05889>_, and his soul <05315> hath appetite <08264> (8802)_: so shall the multitude <01995> of all the nations <01471> be, that fight <06633> (8802) against mount <02022> Zion <06726>_.
9Stay <04102> (8697) yourselves, and wonder <08539> (8798)_; cry ye out <08173> (8697)_, and cry <08173> (8798)_: they are drunken <07937> (8804)_, but not with wine <03196>_; they stagger <05128> (8804)_, but not with strong drink <07941>_. {cry ye...: or, take your pleasure, and riot}
10For the LORD <03068> hath poured out <05258> (8804) upon you the spirit <07307> of deep sleep <08639>_, and hath closed <06105> (8762) your eyes <05869>_: the prophets <05030> and your rulers <07218>_, the seers <02374> hath he covered <03680> (8765)_. {rulers: Heb. heads}
11And the vision <02380> of all is become unto you as the words <01697> of a book <05612> that is sealed <02856> (8803)_, which [men] deliver <05414> (8799) to one that is learned <03045> (8802)_, saying <0559> (8800)_, Read <07121> (8798) this, I pray thee: and he saith <0559> (8804)_, I cannot <03201> (8799)_; for it [is] sealed <02856> (8803)_: {book: or, letter}
12And the book <05612> is delivered <05414> (8738) to him that is not learned <03045> (8804) <05612>_, saying <0559> (8800)_, Read <07121> (8798) this, I pray thee: and he saith <0559> (8804)_, I am not learned <03045> (8804)_.
13Wherefore the Lord <0136> said <0559> (8799)_, Forasmuch <03282> as this people <05971> draw near <05066> (8738) [me] with their mouth <06310>_, and with their lips <08193> do honour <03513> (8765) me, but have removed <07368> (0) their heart <03820> far <07368> (8765) from me, and their fear <03374> toward me is taught <03925> (8794) by the precept <04687> of men <0582>_:
14Therefore, behold, I will proceed <03254> (8802) to do a marvellous work <06381> (8687) among this people <05971>_, [even] a marvellous work <06381> (8687) and a wonder <06382>_: for the wisdom <02451> of their wise <02450> [men] shall perish <06> (8804)_, and the understanding <0998> of their prudent <0995> (8737) [men] shall be hid <05641> (8691)_. {proceed: Heb. add}
15Woe <01945> unto them that seek deep <06009> (8688) to hide <05641> (8687) their counsel <06098> from the LORD <03068>_, and their works <04639> are in the dark <04285>_, and they say <0559> (8799)_, Who seeth <07200> (8802) us? and who knoweth <03045> (8802) us?
16Surely your turning of things upside down <02017> (8800) shall be esteemed <02803> (8735) as the potter's <03335> (8802) clay <02563>_: for shall the work <04639> say <0559> (8799) of him that made <06213> (8802) it, He made <06213> (8804) me not? or shall the thing framed <03336> say <0559> (8804) of him that framed <03335> (8802) it, He had no understanding <0995> (8689)_?
17[Is] it not yet a very <04213> little while <04592>_, and Lebanon <03844> shall be turned <07725> (8804) into a fruitful field <03759>_, and the fruitful field <03759> shall be esteemed <02803> (8735) as a forest <03293>_?
18And in that day <03117> shall the deaf <02795> hear <08085> (8804) the words <01697> of the book <05612>_, and the eyes <05869> of the blind <05787> shall see <07200> (8799) out of obscurity <0652>_, and out of darkness <02822>_.
19The meek <06035> also shall increase <03254> (8804) [their] joy <08057> in the LORD <03068>_, and the poor <034> among men <0120> shall rejoice <01523> (8799) in the Holy One <06918> of Israel <03478>_. {increase: Heb. add}
20For the terrible one <06184> is brought to nought <0656> (8804)_, and the scorner <03887> (8801) is consumed <03615> (8804)_, and all that watch <08245> (8802) for iniquity <0205> are cut off <03772> (8738)_:
21That make a man <0120> an offender <02398> (8688) for a word <01697>_, and lay a snare <06983> (8799) for him that reproveth <03198> (8688) in the gate <08179>_, and turn aside <05186> (8686) the just <06662> for a thing of nought <08414>_.
22Therefore thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068>_, who redeemed <06299> (8804) Abraham <085>_, concerning the house <01004> of Jacob <03290>_, Jacob <03290> shall not now be ashamed <0954> (8799)_, neither shall his face <06440> now wax pale <02357> (8799)_.
23But when he seeth <07200> (8800) his children <03206>_, the work <04639> of mine hands <03027>_, in the midst <07130> of him, they shall sanctify <06942> (8686) my name <08034>_, and sanctify <06942> (8689) the Holy One <06918> of Jacob <03290>_, and shall fear <06206> (8686) the God <0430> of Israel <03478>_.
24They also that erred <08582> (8802) in spirit <07307> shall come <03045> (8804) to understanding <0998>_, and they that murmured <07279> (8803) shall learn <03925> (8799) doctrine <03948>_. {come...: Heb. know understanding}
