--Isaiah-- Woe to Ariel, to Ariel, the city [where] David dwelt! add ye year to year; let them kill sacrifices. (29:1) Yet I will distress Ariel, and there shall be heaviness and sorrow: and it shall be unto me as Ariel. (29:2) And I will camp against thee round about, and will lay siege against thee with a mount, and I will raise forts against thee. (29:3) 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. (29:4) 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. (29:5) 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. (29:6) 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. (29:7) 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. (29:8) |
