Isaiah 29:2–13

²Yet I will distress ^aAriel,

And there shall be heaviness and sorrow:

And it shall be unto me as ^aAriel.

³And I will ^ccamp against thee ^fround about,

And ^gwill lay siege against thee with ^ha mount,

And I will raise ⁱforts against thee.

⁴And ^kthou shalt be brought down, and shalt speak out of the ground,

And ^lthy speech shall be low out of the dust,

And thy voice shall be, as of ^mone that hath a familiar spirit, out of the ground,

And thy speech shall ^†mwhisper out of the dust.

⁵Moreover the multitude of thy ⁿstrangers shall be like small dust,

And the multitude of ⁿthe terrible ones shall be ^oas chaff that passeth away:

Yea, it shall be ^pat an instant suddenly.

⁶Thou shalt be ^qvisited of the Lord of hosts

With thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise,

With ^rstorm and tempest, and ^sthe flame of devouring fire.

^7tAnd the multitude of all the nations that fight against ^aAriel,

Even all that fight against her and her ^umunition, and that distress her,

Shall be ^vas a dream of a night vision.

⁸It shall even be as when an hungry man ^vwdreameth, and, behold, he eateth;

But ^whe 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 ^xhis soul hath appetite:

So shall the multitude of all the nations be,

That fight against mount Zion.

⁹Stay yourselves, and wonder;

^||Cry ye out, and cry:

^yThey are drunken, ^zbut not with wine;

They stagger, but not with strong drink.

¹⁰For ^athe Lord hath poured out upon you the spirit of ^bdeep sleep,

And hath ^cclosed your eyes:

The prophets and your ^†rulers, the seers hath he covered.

^11dAnd the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a ^||book ^ethat is sealed,

Which men deliver to one that is learned,

Saying, Read this, I pray thee:

And he saith, I cannot; ^efor it is sealed:

¹²And the book is delivered to him that is not learned,

Saying, Read this, I pray thee:

And he saith, I am not learned.

¹³Wherefore the Lord said,

^fForasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth,

And with their lips do ^ghonour me,

But have removed their heart far from me,

And their fear toward me is taught by ^hthe precept of men:
