| Isaiah 29 Text (WEB)
|
- Woe to Ariel! Ariel, the city where David encamped! Add year to year; let the feasts come around;
- then I will distress Ariel, and there will be mourning and lamentation. She shall be to me as an altar hearth.
- I will encamp against you all around you, and will lay siege against you with posted troops. I will raise siege works against you.
- You will be brought down, and will speak out of the ground. Your speech will mumble out of the dust. Your voice will be as of one who has a familiar spirit, out of the ground, and your speech will whisper out of the dust.
- But the multitude of your foes will be like fine dust, and the multitude of the ruthless ones like chaff that blows away. Yes, it will be in an instant, suddenly.
- She will be visited by Yahweh of Armies with thunder, with earthquake, with great noise, with whirlwind and storm, and with the flame of a devouring fire.
- The multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel, even all who fight against her and her stronghold, and who distress her, will be like a dream, a vision of the night.
- It will be like when a hungry man dreams, and behold, he eats; but he awakes, and his hunger isn't satisfied; or like when a thirsty man dreams, and behold, he drinks; but he awakes, and behold, he is faint, and he is still thirsty. The multitude of all the nations that fight against Mount Zion will be like that.
- Pause and wonder! Blind yourselves and be blind! They are drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink.
- For Yahweh has poured out on you a spirit of deep sleep, and has closed your eyes, the prophets; and he has covered your heads, the seers.
- All vision has become to you like the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one who is educated, saying, "Read this, please;" and he says, "I can't, for it is sealed:"
- and the book is delivered to one who is not educated, saying, "Read this, please;" and he says, "I can't read."
- The Lord said, "Because this people draws near with their mouth and with their lips to honor me, but they have removed their heart far from me, and their fear of me is a commandment of men which has been taught;
- therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvelous work among this people, even a marvelous work and a wonder; and the wisdom of their wise men will perish, and the understanding of their prudent men will be hidden."
- Woe to those who deeply hide their counsel from Yahweh, and whose works are in the dark, and who say, "Who sees us?" and "Who knows us?"
- You turn things upside down! Should the potter be thought to be like clay; that the thing made should say about him who made it, "He didn't make me;" or the thing formed say of him who formed it, "He has no understanding?"
- Isn't it yet a very little while, and Lebanon will be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field will be regarded as a forest?
- In that day, the deaf will hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind will see out of obscurity and out of darkness.
- The humble also will increase their joy in Yahweh, and the poor among men will rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
- For the ruthless is brought to nothing, and the scoffer ceases, and all those who are alert to do evil are cut off--
- who cause a person to be indicted by a word, and lay a snare for the arbiter in the gate, and who deprive the innocent of justice with false testimony.
- Therefore thus says Yahweh, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob: "Jacob shall no longer be ashamed, neither shall his face grow pale.
- But when he sees his children, the work of my hands, in the midst of him, they will sanctify my name. Yes, they will sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and will stand in awe of the God of Israel.
- They also who err in spirit will come to understanding, and those who grumble will receive instruction."

- הוי אריאל אריאל קרית חנה דוד ספו שנה על־שנה חגים ינקפו׃
- והציקותי לאריאל והיתה תאניה ואניה והיתה לי כאריאל׃
- וחניתי כדור עליך וצרתי עליך מצב והקימתי עליך מצרת׃
- ושפלת מארץ תדברי ומעפר תשח אמרתך והיה כאוב מארץ קולך ומעפר אמרתך תצפצף׃
- והיה כאבק דק המון זריך וכמץ עבר המון עריצים והיה לפתע פתאם׃
- מעם יהוה צבאות תפקד ברעם וברעש וקול גדול סופה וסערה ולהב אש אוכלה׃
- והיה כחלום חזון לילה המון כל־הגוים הצבאים על־אריאל וכל־צביה ומצדתה והמציקים לה׃
- והיה כאשר יחלם הרעב והנה אוכל והקיץ וריקה נפשו וכאשר יחלם הצמא והנה שתה והקיץ והנה עיף ונפשו שוקקה כן יהיה המון כל־הגוים הצבאים על־הר ציון׃ ס
- התמהמהו ותמהו השתעשעו ושעו שכרו ולא־יין נעו ולא שכר׃
- כי־נסך עליכם יהוה רוח תרדמה ויעצם את־עיניכם את־הנביאים ואת־ראשיכם החזים כסה׃
- ותהי לכם חזות הכל כדברי הספר החתום אשר־יתנו אתו אל־יודע לאמר קרא נא־זה ואמר לא אוכל כי חתום הוא׃
- ונתן הספר על אשר לא־ידע ספר לאמר קרא נא־זה ואמר לא ידעתי ספר׃ ס
- ויאמר אדני יען כי נגש העם הזה בפיו ובשפתיו כבדוני ולבו רחק ממני ותהי יראתם אתי מצות אנשים מלמדה׃
- לכן הנני יוסף להפליא את־העם־הזה הפלא ופלא ואבדה חכמת חכמיו ובינת נבניו תסתתר׃ ס
- הוי המעמיקים מיהוה לסתר עצה והיה במחשך מעשיהם ויאמרו מי ראנו ומי יודענו׃
- הפככם אם־כחמר היצר יחשב כי־יאמר מעשה לעשהו לא עשני ויצר אמר ליוצרו לא הבין׃
- הלוא־עוד מעט מזער ושב לבנון לכרמל והכרמל ליער יחשב׃
- ושמעו ביום־ההוא החרשים דברי־ספר ומאפל ומחשך עיני עורים תראינה׃
- ויספו ענוים ביהוה שמחה ואביוני אדם בקדוש ישראל יגילו׃
- כי־אפס עריץ וכלה לץ ונכרתו כל־שקדי און׃
- מחטיאי אדם בדבר ולמוכיח בשער יקשון ויטו בתהו צדיק׃ ס
- לכן כה־אמר יהוה אל־בית יעקב אשר פדה את־אברהם לא־עתה יבוש יעקב ולא עתה פניו יחורו׃
- כי בראתו ילדיו מעשה ידי בקרבו יקדישו שמי והקדישו את־קדוש יעקב ואת־אלהי ישראל יעריצו׃
- וידעו תעי־רוח בינה ורוגנים ילמדו־לקח׃

| Isaiah 29 Text (Latin)
|
- Væ Ariel, Ariel civitas, quam expugnavit David ! additus est annus ad annum : solemnitates evolutæ sunt.
- Et circumvallabo Ariel, et erit tristis et mœrens, et erit mihi quasi Ariel.
- Et circumdabo quasi sphæram in circuitu tuo, et jaciam contra te aggerem, et munimenta ponam in obsidionem tuam.
- Humiliaberis, de terra loqueris, et de humo audietur eloquium tuum ; et erit quasi pythonis de terra vox tua, et de humo eloquium tuum mussitabit.
- Et erit sicut pulvis tenuis multitudo ventilantium te, et sicut favilla pertransiens multitudo eorum qui contra te prævaluerunt ;
- eritque repente confestim. A Domino exercituum visitabitur in tonitruo, et commotione terræ, et voce magna turbinis et tempestatis, et flammæ ignis devorantis.
- Et erit sicut somnium visionis nocturnæ multitudo omnium gentium quæ dimicaverunt contra Ariel, et omnes qui militaverunt, et obsederunt, et prævaluerunt adversus eam.
- Et sicut somniat esuriens, et comedit, cum autem fuerit expergefactus, vacua est anima ejus ; et sicut somniat sitiens et bibit, et postquam fuerit expergefactus, lassus adhuc sitit, et anima ejus vacua est : sic erit multitudo omnium gentium quæ dimicaverunt contra montem Sion.
- Obstupescite et admiramini ; fluctuate et vacillate ; inebriamini, et non a vino ; movemini, et non ab ebrietate.
- Quoniam miscuit vobis Dominus spiritum soporis ; claudet oculos vestros : prophetas et principes vestros, qui vident visiones, operiet.
- Et erit vobis visio omnium sicut verba libri signati, quem cum dederint scienti litteras, dicent : Lege istum : et respondebit : Non possum, signatus est enim.
- Et dabitur liber nescienti litteras, diceturque ei : Lege ; et respondebit : Nescio litteras.
- Et dixit Dominus : Eo quod appropinquat populus iste ore suo, et labiis suis glorificat me, cor autem ejus longe est a me, et timuerunt me mandato hominum et doctrinis,
- ideo ecce ego addam ut admirationem faciam populo huic miraculo grandi et stupendo ; peribit enim sapientia a sapientibus ejus, et intellectus prudentium ejus abscondetur.
- Væ qui profundi estis corde, ut a Domino abscondatis consilium ; quorum sunt in tenebris opera, et dicunt : Quis videt nos ? et quis novit nos ?
- Perversa est hæc vestra cogitatio ; quasi si lutum contra figulum cogitet, et dicat opus factori suo : Non fecisti me ; et figmentum dicat fictori suo : Non intelligis.
- Nonne adhuc in modico et in brevi convertetur Libanus in carmel, et carmel in saltum reputabitur ?
- Et audient in die illa surdi verba libri, et de tenebris et caligine oculi cæcorum videbunt.
- Et addent mites in Domino lætitiam, et pauperes homines in Sancto Israël exsultabunt ;
- quoniam defecit qui prævalebat, consummatus est illusor, et succisi sunt omnes qui vigilabant super iniquitatem,
- qui peccare faciebant homines in verbo, et arguentem in porta supplantabant, et declinaverunt frustra a justo.
- Propter hoc, hæc dicit Dominus ad domum Jacob, qui redemit Abraham : Non modo confundetur Jacob, nec modo vultus ejus erubescet ;
- sed cum viderit filios suos, opera manuum mearum in medio sui sanctificantes nomen meum, et sanctificabunt Sanctum Jacob, et Deum Israël prædicabunt ;
- et scient errantes spiritu intellectum, et mussitatores discent legem.

| Isaiah 29 Text (KJV)
|
- Woe to Ariel, to Ariel, the city where David dwelt! add ye year to year; let them kill sacrifices.
- Yet I will distress Ariel, and there shall be heaviness and sorrow: and it shall be unto me as Ariel.
- And I will camp against thee round about, and will lay siege against thee with a mount, and I will raise forts against thee.
- And thou shalt be brought down, and shalt speak out of the ground, and thy speech shall be low out of the dust, and thy voice shall be, as of one that hath a familiar spirit, out of the ground, and thy speech shall whisper out of the dust.
- Moreover the multitude of thy strangers shall be like small dust, and the multitude of the terrible ones shall be as chaff that passeth away: yea, it shall be at an instant suddenly.
- Thou shalt be visited of the LORD of hosts with thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise, with storm and tempest, and the flame of devouring fire.
- And the multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel, even all that fight against her and her munition, and that distress her, shall be as a dream of a night vision.
- It shall even be as when an hungry man dreameth, and, behold, he eateth; but he awaketh, and his soul is empty: or as when a thirsty man dreameth, and, behold, he drinketh; but he awaketh, and, behold, he is faint, and his soul hath appetite: so shall the multitude of all the nations be, that fight against mount Zion.
- Stay yourselves, and wonder; cry ye out, and cry: they are drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink.
- For the LORD hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers hath he covered.
- And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I cannot; for it is sealed:
- And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned.
- Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:
- Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid.
- Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the LORD, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us?
- Surely your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter's clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, He had no understanding?
- Is it not yet a very little while, and Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be esteemed as a forest?
- And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity, and out of darkness.
- The meek also shall increase their joy in the LORD, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
- For the terrible one is brought to nought, and the scorner is consumed, and all that watch for iniquity are cut off:
- That make a man an offender for a word, and lay a snare for him that reproveth in the gate, and turn aside the just for a thing of nought.
- Therefore thus saith the LORD, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob, Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall his face now wax pale.
- But when he seeth his children, the work of mine hands, in the midst of him, they shall sanctify my name, and sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall fear the God of Israel.
- They also that erred in spirit shall come to understanding, and they that murmured shall learn doctrine.
