* Woe to Ariel #Ari #el #, to Ariel #Ari #el #, the city where David dwelt ! add ye year to year ; let them kill sacrifices . * Yet I will distress Ariel #Ari #el #, and there shall be heaviness and sorrow : and it shall be unto me as Ariel #Ari #el #. * 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 pith #owm #. * Thou shalt be visited of the LORD of hosts with thunder ra #am #, and with earthquake ra #ash #, and great noise , with storm and tempest ca #ar #, and the flame of devouring fire . * And the multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel #Ari #el #, 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 ro #sh #, 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 potters 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 m @#at #, and Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field , and the fruitful field shall be esteemed as a forest ya #ar #? * 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 Yisra #el #. * 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 sha #ar #, and turn aside the just for a thing of nought . * Therefore thus saith the LORD , who redeemed Abraham , concerning the house of Jacob Ya #aqob #, 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 Ya #aqob #, and shall fear the God of Israel Yisra #el #. * They also that erred in spirit shall come to understanding , and they that murmured shall learn doctrine .
