King James Bible |
Youngs Literal Translation |
|
| 29:1 | Woe to |
Wo `to' Ariel, Ariel, The city of the encampment of David! Add year to year, let festivals go round. |
| 29:2 | Yet I will distress |
And I have sent distress to Ariel, And it hath been lamentation and mourning, And it hath been to me as Ariel. |
| 29:3 | And I will camp against thee round about, and will lay siege against thee with a mount, and I will raise forts against thee. | And I encamped, O babbler, against thee, And I laid siege against thee -- a camp. And I raised up against thee bulwarks. |
| 29:4 | 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 |
And thou hast been low, From the earth thou speakest, And from the dust makest thy saying low, And thy voice hath been from the earth, As one having a familiar spirit, And from the dust thy saying whisperest, |
| 29:5 | 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. | And as small dust hath been The multitude of those scattering thee, And as chaff passing on the multitude of the terrible, And it hath been at an instant -- suddenly. |
| 29:6 | 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. | By Jehovah of Hosts thou art inspected, With thunder, and with an earthquake, And great noise, hurricane, and whirlwind, And flame of devouring fire. |
| 29:7 | And the multitude of all the nations that fight against |
And as a dream, a vision of night, hath been The multitude of all the nations Who are warring against Ariel, And all its warriors, and its bulwark, Even of those distressing her. |
| 29:8 | 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. | And it hath been, as when the hungry dreameth, And lo, he is eating, And he hath waked, and empty `is' his soul, And as when the thirsty dreameth, And lo, he is drinking, and he hath waked, And lo, he is weary, and his soul is longing, So is the multitude of all the nations Who are warring against mount Zion. |
| 29:9 | Stay yourselves, and wonder; |
Tarry and wonder, look ye, yea, look, Be drunk, and not with wine, Stagger, and not with strong drink. |
| 29:10 | For the LORD hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes: the prophets and your |
For poured out on you hath Jehovah a spirit of deep sleep, And He closeth your eyes -- the prophets, And your heads -- the seers -- He covered. |
| 29:11 | And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a |
And the vision of the whole is to you, As words of the sealed book, That they give unto one knowing books, Saying, `Read this, we pray thee,' And he hath said, `I am not able, for it `is' sealed;' |
| 29:12 | And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned. | And the book is given to him who hath not known books, Saying, `Read this, we pray thee,' And he hath said, `I have not known books.' |
| 29:13 | 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: | And the Lord saith: Because drawn near hath this people, with its mouth, And with its lips they have honoured Me, And its heart it hath put far off from Me, And their fear of Me is -- A precept of men is taught! |
| 29:14 | Therefore, behold, |
Therefore, lo, I am adding to do wonderfully with this people, A wonder, and a marvel, And perished hath the wisdom of its wise ones, And the understanding of its intelligent ones hideth itself.' |
| 29:15 | 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? | Wo `to' those going deep from Jehovah to hide counsel, And whose works have been in darkness. And they say, `Who is seeing us? And who is knowing us?' |
| 29:16 | 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? | Your perversion! as clay is the potter esteemed? That the work saith of its maker, `He hath not made me?' And the framed thing said of its framer, `He did not understand?' |
| 29:17 | Is it not yet a very little while, and |
Is it not yet a very little, And turned hath Lebanon to a fruitful field, And the fruitful field for a forest is reckoned? |
| 29:18 | 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. | And heard in that day have the deaf the words of a book, And out of thick darkness, and out of darkness, The eyes of the blind do see. |
| 29:19 | The meek also |
And the humble have added joy in Jehovah, And the poor among men In the Holy One of Israel rejoice. |
| 29:20 | For the terrible one is brought to nought, and the scorner is consumed, and all that watch for iniquity are cut off: | For ceased hath the terrible one, And consumed hath been the scorner, And cut off have been all watching for iniquity, |
| 29:21 | 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. | Causing men to sin in word, And for a reprover in the gate lay a snare, And turn aside into emptiness the righteous. |
| 29:22 | 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, thus said Jehovah, Who ransomed Abraham, Concerning the house of Jacob: `Not now ashamed is Jacob, Nor now doth his face become pale, |
| 29:23 | 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 in his seeing his children, The work of My hand, in his midst, They sanctify My name, And have sanctified the Holy One of Jacob, And the God of Israel they declare fearful. |
| 29:24 | They also that erred in spirit |
And the erring in spirit have known understanding, And murmurers learn doctrine!' |
