Berean Standard Bible
Woe to Ariel
, to
Ariel, the city where David dwelt
! add
ye
year to
year ;
let them
kill
sacrifices
.
Woe to you
, O
Ariel, the city of
Ariel
where David camped
! Year upon
year let your
festivals
recur
.
Yet
I will distress
Ariel, and there shall
be heaviness
and
sorrow:
and it
shall
be unto
me as
Ariel
.
And
I will constrain
Ariel, and there will
be mourning
and lamentation;
she
will
be like
an
altar
hearth
before
Me.
And
I will camp against
thee
round
about,
and
will
lay
siege
against
thee
with
a mount,
and
I will raise
forts
against thee
.
I will camp in
a circle
around
you;
I will besiege
you
with
towers
and
set
up
siege
works
against you
.
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.
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.
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.
But
your
many
foes
will
be like fine
dust, the multitude of the ruthless
like
blowing
chaff .
Then
suddenly
, in
an instant ,
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.
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.
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 .
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,
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.
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.
Stay
yourselves,
and wonder
; cry
ye
out,
and cry:
they
are
drunken
, but not with wine; they
stagger, but not with
strong drink.
Stop
and be
astonished
; blind
yourselves
and be
sightless;
be
drunk
, but not with wine; stagger, but not from
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
.
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.
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 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 .”
And
the book
is delivered
to him
that
is
not
learned,
saying,
Read this
, I
pray
thee:
and
he saith
, I am
not
learned
.
Or
if
the scroll
is handed
to one
unable
to
read, he will
say
, “
I cannot
read
. ”
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
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 .
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
.
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
. ”
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
?
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
? ”
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?
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 ”
?
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?
In
a very short
time
, will
not
Lebanon become
an
orchard
, and the orchard
seem
like
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
.
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.
The meek
also
shall
increase their joy in the LORD, and the poor among men shall
rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
The humble
will
increase their joy in the LORD, and the poor among men will
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:
For the ruthless
will
vanish
, the mockers
will
disappear
, and all who
look
for evil
will
be
cut down—
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
.
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
.
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.
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.
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.
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.
They
also
that
erred
in spirit shall
come to understanding, and they
that
murmured
shall
learn
doctrine
.
Then
the
wayward
in spirit will
come to understanding, and those
who
grumble
will
accept
instruction
. ”
