Isaiah 29

1 woe! Ariel Ariel town to camp David to add year upon year feast to surround

Woe to you, O Ariel, the city of Ariel where David camped! Year upon year let your festivals recur.

2 and to press to/for Ariel and to be mourning and lamentation and to be to/for me like/as Ariel

And I will constrain Ariel, and there will be mourning and lamentation; she will be like an altar hearth before Me.

3 and to camp like/as circle upon you and to confine upon you entrenchment and to arise: raise upon you fortress

I will camp in a circle around you; I will besiege you with towers and set up siege works against you.

4 and to abase from land: country/planet to speak: speak and from dust to bow word your and to be like/as medium from land: soil voice your and from dust word your to whisper

You will be brought low, you will speak from the ground, and out of the dust your words will be muffled. Your voice will be like a spirit from the ground; your speech will whisper out of the dust.

5 and to be like/as dust thin crowd be a stranger your and like/as chaff to pass crowd ruthless and to be to/for suddenness suddenly

But your many foes will be like fine dust, the multitude of the ruthless like blowing chaff. Then suddenly, in an instant,

6 from from with LORD Hosts to reckon: visit in/on/with thunder and in/on/with quaking and voice: sound great: large whirlwind and tempest and flame fire to eat

you will be visited by the LORD of Hosts with thunder and earthquake and loud noise, with windstorm and tempest and consuming flame of fire.

7 and to be like/as dream vision night crowd all [the] nation [the] to serve upon Ariel and all to serve her and stronghold her and [the] to press to/for her

All the many nations going out to battle against Ariel— even all who war against her, laying siege and attacking her— will be like a dream, like a vision in the night,

8 and to be like/as as which to dream [the] hungry and behold to eat and to awake and worthless soul: appetite his and like/as as which to dream [the] thirsty and behold to drink and to awake and behold faint and soul: appetite his to rush so to be crowd all [the] nation [the] to serve upon mountain: mount Zion

as when a hungry man dreams he is eating, then awakens still hungry; as when a thirsty man dreams he is drinking, then awakens faint and parched. So will it be for all the many nations who go to battle against Mount Zion.

9 to delay and to astounded to smear and to smear be drunk and not wine to shake and not strong drink

Stop and be astonished; blind yourselves and be sightless; be drunk, but not with wine; stagger, but not from strong drink.

10 for to pour upon you LORD spirit deep sleep and to shut eyes [obj] eye your [obj] [the] prophet and [obj] head your [the] seer to cover

For the LORD has poured out on you a spirit of deep sleep. He has shut your eyes, O prophets; He has covered your heads, O seers.

11 and to be to/for you vision [the] all like/as word [the] scroll: book [the] to seal which to give: give [obj] him to(wards) to know (scroll: book *Q(K)*) to/for to say to call: read out please this and to say not be able for to seal he/she/it

And the entire vision will be to you like the words sealed in a scroll. If it is handed to someone to read, he will say, “I cannot, because it is sealed.”

12 and to give: give [the] scroll: book upon which not to know scroll: read to/for to say to call: read out please this and to say not to know scroll: read

Or if the scroll is handed to one unable to read, he will say, “I cannot read.”

13 and to say Lord because for to approach: approach [the] people [the] this in/on/with lip his and in/on/with lips his to honor: honour me and heart his to remove from me and to be fear their [obj] me commandment human to learn: teach

Therefore the Lord said: “These people draw near to Me with their mouths and honor Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me. Their worship of Me is but rules taught by men.

14 to/for so look! I to add: again to/for to wonder [obj] [the] people [the] this to wonder and wonder and to perish wisdom wise his and understanding to understand him to hide

Therefore I will again confound these people with wonder upon wonder. The wisdom of the wise will vanish, and the intelligence of the intelligent will be hidden.”

15 woe! [the] be deep from LORD to/for to hide counsel and to be in/on/with darkness deed their and to say who? to see: see us and who? to know us

Woe to those who dig deep to hide their plans from the LORD. In darkness they do their works and say, “Who sees us, and who will know?”

16 perversity your if: surely no like/as clay [the] to form: potter to devise: think for to say deed: work to/for to make him not to make me and intention to say to/for to form: formed him not to understand

You have turned things upside down, as if the potter were regarded as clay. Shall what is formed say to him who formed it, “He did not make me”? Can the pottery say of the potter, “He has no understanding”?

17 not still little little and to return: return Lebanon to/for plantation and [the] plantation to/for wood to devise: think

In a very short time, will not Lebanon become an orchard, and the orchard seem like a forest?

18 and to hear: hear in/on/with day [the] he/she/it [the] deaf word scroll: book and from darkness and from darkness eye blind to see: see

On that day the deaf will hear the words of the scroll, and out of the deep darkness the eyes of the blind will see.

19 and to add: again poor in/on/with LORD joy and needy man in/on/with holy Israel to rejoice

The humble will increase their joy in the LORD, and the poor among men will rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.

20 for to end ruthless and to end: finish to mock and to cut: eliminate all to watch evil: wickedness

For the ruthless will vanish, the mockers will disappear, and all who look for evil will be cut down—

21 to sin man in/on/with word and to/for to rebuke in/on/with gate to lure [emph?] and to stretch in/on/with formlessness righteous

those who indict a man with a word, who ensnare the mediator at the gate, and who with false charges deprive the innocent of justice.

22 to/for so thus to say LORD to(wards) house: household Jacob which to ransom [obj] Abraham not now be ashamed Jacob and not now face his to pale

Therefore the LORD who redeemed Abraham says of the house of Jacob: “No longer will Jacob be ashamed and no more will his face grow pale.

23 for in/on/with to see: see he youth his deed: work hand my in/on/with entrails: among his to consecrate: consecate name my and to consecrate: consecate [obj] holy Jacob and [obj] God Israel to tremble

For when he sees his children around him, the work of My hands, they will honor My name, they will sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and they will stand in awe of the God of Israel.
