 <<  Yesaya 29 >> 

1Woe betide Ariel! Ariel, the city where David encamped. When another year has passed, with its full round of pilgrim-feasts,

2then I shall reduce Ariel to sore straits. There will be moaning and lamentation when I make her my Ariel, my fire-altar.

3I shall encircle you with my army, set a ring of outposts all round you, and erect siege-works against you.

4You will be brought low, you will speak out of the ground, and your words will issue from the earth; your voice will come ghostlike from the ground, and your words will squeak out of the earth.

5Yet the horde of your enemies will crumble into dust, the horde of ruthless foes will fly like chaff. Suddenly, all in an instant,

6punishment will come from the LORD of Hosts with thunder and earthquake and a great noise, with storm and tempest and a flame of devouring fire.

7The horde of all the nations warring against Ariel, all who fight against her with their siege-works, all who hem her in, will fade as a dream, a vision of the night.

8Like one who is hungry and dreams that he is eating, but wakes to find himself empty, or like one who is thirsty and dreams that he is drinking, but wakes to find himself faint with thirst, so will it be with the horde of nations all warring against Mount Zion.

9If you confuse yourselves, you will stay confused; if you blind yourselves, you will stay blinded. Be drunk but not with wine, reel but not with strong drink;

10for the LORD has poured on you a spirit of deep stupor; he has closed your eyes (that is, the prophets), and muffled your heads (they are the seers).

11The prophetic vision of it all has become for you like the words in a sealed book. If you hand such a book to one who can read and say, “Pray read this,” he will answer, “I cannot; it is sealed.”

12Give it to one who cannot read and say, “Pray read this”; he will answer, “I cannot read.”

13Then the Lord said: Because this people worship me with empty words and pay me lip-service while their hearts are far from me, and their religion is but a human precept, learnt by rote,

14therefore I shall shock this people yet again, adding shock to shock: the wisdom of their wise men will vanish and the discernment of the discerning will be lost.

15Woe betide those who seek to hide their plans too deep for the LORD to see! When their deeds are done in the dark they say, “Who sees us? Who knows of us?”

16How you turn things upside down, as if the potter ranked no higher than the clay! Will the thing made say of its maker, “He did not make me”? Will the pot say of the potter, “He has no skill”?

17In but a very short time Lebanon will return to garden land and the garden land will be reckoned as common as scrub.

18On that day the deaf will hear when a book is read, and the eyes of the blind will see out of impenetrable darkness.

19The lowly will once again rejoice in the LORD, and the poor exult in the Holy One of Israel.

20The ruthless will be no more, the arrogant will cease to exist; those who are quick to find mischief, those who impute sins to others, or lay traps for him who brings the wrongdoer into court, or by falsehood deny justice to the innocent -- all these will be cut down.

21(29:20)

22Therefore these are the words of the LORD, the deliverer of Abraham, about the house of Jacob: This is no time for Jacob to be shamed, no time for his face to grow pale;

23for his descendants will hallow my name when they see what I have done in their midst. They will hold sacred the Holy One of Jacob and regard Israel's God with awe;

24the confused will gain understanding, and the obstinate accept instruction.
