1	Woe to Ariel, to Ariel, the city where David dwelt# ! add# ye year to year; let them kill# sacrifices. [Woe...: or, O Ariel, that is, the lion of God] [the city: or, of the city] [kill: Heb. cut off the heads of]
			2	Yet I will distress# Ariel, and there shall be heaviness and sorrow: and it shall be unto me as Ariel.
			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.
			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 whisper# out of the dust. [whisper: Heb. peep, or, chirp]
			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.
			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.
			7	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.
			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.
			9	Stay# yourselves, and wonder# ; cry ye out# , and cry# : they are drunken# , but not with wine; they stagger# , but not with strong drink. [cry ye...: or, take your pleasure, and riot]
			10	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# . [rulers: Heb. heads]
			11	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# : [book: or, letter]
			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# .
			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:
			14	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# . [proceed: Heb. add]
			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?
			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# ?
			17	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?
			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.
			19	The meek also shall increase# their joy in the LORD, and the poor among men shall rejoice# in the Holy One of Israel. [increase: Heb. add]
			20	For the terrible one is brought to nought# , and the scorner# is consumed# , and all that watch# for iniquity are cut off# :
			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.
			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# .
			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.
			24	They also that erred# in spirit shall come# to understanding, and they that murmured# shall learn# doctrine. [come...: Heb. know understanding]
