Isaiah 29:1-9 Ah, Ariel, Ariel, the city where David encamped! Add ye year to year, let the feasts come round!

JPS_ASV_Byz⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Ah, Ariel, Ariel, the city where David encamped! Add ye year to year, let the feasts come round! ² Then will I distress Ariel, and there shall be mourning and moaning; and she shall be unto Me as a hearth of God. ³ And I will encamp against thee round about, and will lay siege against thee with a mound, and I will raise siege works against thee. ⁴ And brought down thou shalt speak out of the ground, and thy speech shall be low out of the dust; and thy voice shall be as of a ghost out of the ground, and thy speech shall chirp out of the dust. ⁵ But the multitude of thy foes shall be like small dust, and the multitude of the terrible ones as chaff that passeth away; yea, it shall be at an instant suddenly - ⁶ There shall be a visitation from 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 war against Ariel, even all that war against her, and the bulwarks about her, and they that distress her, shall be as a dream, a vision of the night. ⁸ And it shall be as when a 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 Stupefy yourselves, and be stupid! Blind yourselves, and be blind! ye that are drunken, but not with wine, that stagger, but not with strong drink.
