Isaiah 29:1-11
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 29
1
Woe, Ariel, Ariel the city
where
David
once
camped!
Add year to year, keep
your
feasts on schedule.
2
I will bring distress to Ariel,
And she will be
a city of
grieving and mourning;
And she will be like an Ariel to me.
3
I will camp against you encircling
you,
And I will set up siegeworks against you,
And I will raise up battle towers against you.
4
Then you will be brought low;
From the earth you will speak,
And from the dust
where
you are prostrate
Your words
will come.
Your voice will also be like that of a spirit from the ground,
And your speech will whisper from the dust.
5
But the multitude of your enemies will become like fine dust,
And the multitude of the ruthless ones like the chaff which blows away;
And it will happen instantly, suddenly.
6
From the
Lord
of armies you will be punished with thunder and earthquake and loud noise,
With
whirlwind and tempest and the flame of a consuming fire.
7
And the multitude of all the nations who wage war against Ariel,
Even all who wage war against her and her stronghold, and who distress her,
Will be like a dream, a vision of the night.
8
It will be as when a hungry person dreams—
And behold, he is eating;
But when he awakens, his hunger is not satisfied,
Or as when a thirsty person dreams—
And behold, he is drinking,
But when he awakens, behold, he is faint
And his thirst is not quenched.
So will the multitude of all the nations be
Who wage war against Mount Zion.
9
Be delayed and horrified,
Blind yourselves and be blind;
They become drunk, but not with wine,
They stagger, but not with intoxicating drink.
10
For the
Lord
has poured over you a spirit of deep sleep,
He has shut your eyes—the prophets;
And He has covered your heads—the seers.
11
The entire vision will be to you like the words of a sealed book, which, when they give it to the one who is literate, saying, 'Please read this,' he will say, 'I cannot, because it is sealed.'
King James Version
Chapter 29
1
Woe to Ariel, to Ariel, the city where David dwelt! add ye year to year; let them kill sacrifices.
2
Yet I will distress Ariel, and there shall be heaviness and sorrow: and it shall be unto me as Ariel.
3
And I will camp against thee round about, and will lay siege against thee with a mount, and I will raise forts against thee.
4
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.
5
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.
6
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.
7
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.
8
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.
9
Stay yourselves, and wonder; cry ye out, and cry: they are drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink.
10
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.
11
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:
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 29
1
Woe to Ariel, Ariel,
the city where David camped!
Continue year after year;
let the festivals recur.
2
I will oppress Ariel,
and there will be mourning and crying,
and she will be to me like an Ariel.
3
I will camp in a circle around you;
I will besiege you with earth ramps,
and I will set up my siege towers against you.
4
You will be brought down;
you will speak from the ground,
and your words will come from low in the dust.
Your voice will be like that of a spirit from the ground;
your speech will whisper from the dust.
5
Your many foes will be like fine dust,
and many of the ruthless, like blowing chaff.
Then suddenly, in an instant,
6
you will be punished by the
Lord
of Armies
with thunder, earthquake, and loud noise,
storm, tempest, and a flame of consuming fire.
7
All the many nations
going out to battle against Ariel—
all the attackers, the siege works against her,
and those who oppress her—
will then be like a dream, a vision in the night.
8
It will be like a hungry one who dreams he is eating,
then wakes and is still hungry;
and like a thirsty one who dreams he is drinking,
then wakes and is still thirsty, longing for water.
So it will be for all the many nations
who go to battle against Mount Zion.
9
Stop and be astonished;
blind yourselves and be blind!
They are drunk, but not with wine;
they stagger, but not with beer.
10
For the
Lord
has poured out on you
an overwhelming urge to sleep;
he has shut your eyes (the prophets)
and covered your heads (the seers).
11
For you the entire vision will be like the words of a sealed document. If it is given to one who can read and he is asked to read it, he will say, "I can’t read it, because it is sealed."
New Living Translation
Chapter 29
1
'What sorrow awaits Ariel, the City of David.
Year after year you celebrate your feasts.
2
Yet I will bring disaster upon you,
and there will be much weeping and sorrow.
For Jerusalem will become what her name Ariel means —
an altar covered with blood.
3
I will be your enemy,
surrounding Jerusalem and attacking its walls.
I will build siege towers
and destroy it.
4
Then deep from the earth you will speak;
from low in the dust your words will come.
Your voice will whisper from the ground
like a ghost conjured up from the grave.
5
'But suddenly, your ruthless enemies will be crushed
like the finest of dust.
Your many attackers will be driven away
like chaff before the wind.
Suddenly, in an instant,
6
I, the
Lord
of Heaven’s Armies, will act for you
with thunder and earthquake and great noise,
with whirlwind and storm and consuming fire.
7
All the nations fighting against Jerusalem
will vanish like a dream!
Those who are attacking her walls
will vanish like a vision in the night.
8
A hungry person dreams of eating
but wakes up still hungry.
A thirsty person dreams of drinking
but is still faint from thirst when morning comes.
So it will be with your enemies,
with those who attack Mount Zion.'
9
Are you amazed and incredulous?
Don’t you believe it?
Then go ahead and be blind.
You are stupid, but not from wine!
You stagger, but not from liquor!
10
For the
Lord
has poured out on you a spirit of deep sleep.
He has closed the eyes of your prophets and visionaries.
11
All the future events in this vision are like a sealed book to them. When you give it to those who can read, they will say, 'We can’t read it because it is sealed.'
English Standard Version
Chapter 29
1
Ah, Ariel, Ariel,
the city where David encamped!
Add year to year;
let the feasts run their round.
2
Yet I will distress Ariel,
and there shall be moaning and lamentation,
and she shall be to me like an Ariel.
3
And I will encamp against you all around,
and will besiege you with towers
and I will raise siegeworks against you.
4
And you will be brought low; from the earth you shall speak,
and from the dust your speech will be bowed down;
your voice shall come from the ground like the voice of a ghost,
and from the dust your speech shall whisper.
5
But the multitude of your foreign foes shall be like small dust,
and the multitude of the ruthless like passing chaff.
And in an instant, suddenly,
6
you will be visited by the
Lord
of hosts
with thunder and with earthquake and great noise,
with whirlwind and tempest, and the flame of a devouring fire.
7
And the multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel,
all that fight against her and her stronghold and distress her,
shall be like a dream, a vision of the night.
8
As when a hungry man dreams, and behold, he is eating,
and awakes with his hunger not satisfied,
or as when a thirsty man dreams, and behold, he is drinking,
and awakes faint, with his thirst not quenched,
so shall the multitude of all the nations be
that fight against Mount Zion.
9
Astonish yourselves and be astonished;
blind yourselves and be blind!
Be drunk, but not with wine;
stagger, but not with strong drink!
10
For the
Lord
has poured out upon you
a spirit of deep sleep,
and has closed your eyes (the prophets),
and covered your heads (the seers).
11
And the vision of all this has become to you like the words of a book that is sealed. When men give it to one who can read, saying, "Read this," he says, "I cannot, for it is sealed."
New International Version
Chapter 29
1
Woe to you, Ariel, Ariel,
the city where David settled!
Add year to year
and let your cycle of festivals go on.
2
Yet I will besiege Ariel;
she will mourn and lament,
she will be to me like an altar hearth.
3
I will encamp against you on all sides;
I will encircle you with towers
and set up my siege works against you.
4
Brought low, you will speak from the ground;
your speech will mumble out of the dust.
Your voice will come ghostlike from the earth;
out of the dust your speech will whisper.
5
But your many enemies will become like fine dust,
the ruthless hordes like blown chaff.
Suddenly, in an instant,
6
the
Lord
Almighty will come
with thunder and earthquake and great noise,
with windstorm and tempest and flames of a devouring fire.
7
Then the hordes of all the nations that fight against Ariel,
that attack her and her fortress and besiege her,
will be as it is with a dream,
with a vision in the night—
8
as when a hungry person dreams of eating,
but awakens hungry still;
as when a thirsty person dreams of drinking,
but awakens faint and thirsty still.
So will it be with the hordes of all the nations
that fight against Mount Zion.
9
Be stunned and amazed,
blind yourselves and be sightless;
be drunk, but not from wine,
stagger, but not from beer.
10
The
Lord
has brought over you a deep sleep:
He has sealed your eyes (the prophets);
he has covered your heads (the seers).
11
For you this whole vision is nothing but words sealed in a scroll. And if you give the scroll to someone who can read, and say, "Read this, please," they will answer, "I can’t; it is sealed."
New King James Version
Chapter 29
1
“Woe to Ariel, to Ariel, the city
where
David dwelt!
Add year to year;
Let feasts come around.
2
Yet I will distress Ariel;
There shall be heaviness and sorrow,
And it shall be to Me as Ariel.
3
I will encamp against you all around,
I will lay siege against you with a mound,
And I will raise siegeworks against you.
4
You shall be brought down,
You shall speak out of the ground;
Your speech shall be low, out of the dust;
Your voice shall be like a medium’s, out of the ground;
And your speech shall whisper out of the dust.
5
“Moreover the multitude of your foes
Shall be like fine dust,
And the multitude of the terrible ones
Like chaff that passes away;
Yes, it shall be in an instant, suddenly.
6
You will be punished by the
Lord
of hosts
With thunder and earthquake and great noise,
With
storm and tempest
And the flame of devouring fire.
7
The multitude of all the nations who fight against Ariel,
Even all who fight against her and her fortress,
And distress her,
Shall be as a dream of a night vision.
8
It shall even be as when a hungry man dreams,
And look—he eats;
But he awakes, and his soul is still empty;
Or as when a thirsty man dreams,
And look—he drinks;
But he awakes, and indeed
he is
faint,
And his soul still craves:
So the multitude of all the nations shall be,
Who fight against Mount Zion.”
9
Pause and wonder!
Blind yourselves and be blind!
They are drunk, but not with wine;
They stagger, but not with intoxicating drink.
10
For the
Lord
has poured out on you
The spirit of deep sleep,
And has closed your eyes, namely, the prophets;
And He has covered your heads,
namely,
the seers.
11
The whole vision has become to you like the words of a book that is sealed, which
men
deliver to one who is literate, saying, “Read this, please.” And he says, “I cannot, for it
is
sealed.”
