Isaiah 29 (NET) New English Translation

1 Ariel is as good as dead� Ariel, the town David besieged! Keep observing your annual rituals, celebrate your festivals on schedule.
2 I will threaten Ariel, and she will mourn intensely and become like an altar hearth before me.
3 I will lay siege to you on all sides; I will besiege you with troops; I will raise siege works against you.
4 You will fall; while lying on the ground you will speak; from the dust where you lie, your words will be heard. Your voice will sound like a spirit speaking from the underworld; from the dust you will chirp as if muttering an incantation.
5 But the horde of invaders will be like fine dust, the horde of tyrants like chaff that is blown away. It will happen suddenly, in a flash.
6 Judgment will come from the LORD who commands armies, accompanied by thunder, earthquake, and a loud noise, by a strong gale, a windstorm, and a consuming flame of fire.
7 It will be like a dream, a night vision. There will be a horde from all the nations that fight against Ariel, those who attack her and her stronghold and besiege her.
8 It will be like a hungry man dreaming that he is eating, only to awaken and find that his stomach is empty. It will be like a thirsty man dreaming that he is drinking, only to awaken and find that he is still weak and his thirst unquenched. So it will be for the horde from all the nations that fight against Mount Zion.
9 You will be shocked and amazed! You are totally blind! They are drunk, but not because of wine; they stagger, but not because of beer.
10 For the LORD has poured out on you a strong urge to sleep deeply. He has shut your eyes (the prophets), and covered your heads (the seers).
11 To you this entire prophetic revelation is like words in a sealed scroll. When they hand it to one who can read and say, "Read this," he responds, "I can't, because it is sealed."
12 Or when they hand the scroll to one who can't read and say, "Read this," he says, "I can't read."
13 The sovereign master says, "These people say they are loyal to me; they say wonderful things about me, but they are not really loyal to me. Their worship consists of nothing but man-made ritual.
14 Therefore I will again do an amazing thing for these people� an absolutely extraordinary deed. Wise men will have nothing to say, the sages will have no explanations."
15 Those who try to hide their plans from the LORD are as good as dead, who do their work in secret and boast, "Who sees us? Who knows what we're doing?"
16 Your thinking is perverse! Should the potter be regarded as clay? Should the thing made say about its maker, "He didn't make me"? Or should the pottery say about the potter, "He doesn't understand"?
17 In just a very short time Lebanon will turn into an orchard, and the orchard will be considered a forest.
18 At that time the deaf will be able to hear words read from a scroll, and the eyes of the blind will be able to see through deep darkness.
19 The downtrodden will again rejoice in the LORD; the poor among humankind will take delight in the Holy One of Israel.
20 For tyrants will disappear, those who taunt will vanish, and all those who love to do wrong will be eliminated�
21 those who bear false testimony against a person, who entrap the one who arbitrates at the city gate and deprive the innocent of justice by making false charges.
22 So this is what the LORD, the one who delivered Abraham, says to the family of Jacob: "Jacob will no longer be ashamed; their faces will no longer show their embarrassment.
23 For when they see their children, whom I will produce among them, they will honor my name. They will honor the Holy One of Jacob; they will respect the God of Israel.
24 Those who stray morally will gain understanding; those who complain will acquire insight.
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
