¹ Woe, O^a I.e. Lion of God, or JerusalemAriel,^b I.e. Lion of God, or JerusalemAriel the city where David once camped! Add year to year,^c Lit let your feasts run their roundobserve your feasts on schedule. ² I will bring distress to Ariel, And she will be a city of lamenting and mourning; And she will be like an Ariel to me. ³ I will camp against you^d Lit like a circleencircling you, And I will set siegeworks against you, And I will raise up battle towers against you. ⁴ Then you will be brought low; From the earth you will speak, And from the dust where you are prostrate Your words will come. Your voice will also be like that of a^e Or ghostspirit from the ground, And your speech will whisper from the dust. ⁵ But the multitude of your^f Lit strangersenemies will become like fine dust, And the multitude of the ruthless ones like the chaff which^g Lit passes awayblows away; And it will happen instantly, suddenly. ⁶ From the LORD of hosts you will be punished with thunder and earthquake and loud noise, With whirlwind and tempest and the flame of a consuming fire. ⁷ And the multitude of all the nations who wage war against^h V 1, note 1Ariel, Even all who wage war against her and her stronghold, and who distress her, Will be like a dream, a vision of the night. ⁸ It will be as when a hungry man dreams— And behold, he is eating; But when he awakens, hisⁱ Lit soulhunger is not satisfied, Or as when a thirsty man dreams— And behold, he is drinking, But when he awakens, behold, he is faint And his^j Lit soulthirst is not quenched. Thus the multitude of all the nations will be Who wage war against Mount Zion. ⁹ Be delayed and wait, Blind yourselves and be blind; They become drunk, but not with wine, They stagger, but not with strong drink. ¹⁰ For the LORD has poured over you a spirit of deep sleep, He has shut your eyes, the prophets; And He has covered your heads, the seers.	1 Sa2 5:9 Isa 1:14 Isa 5:12 Isa 22:12 Isa 22:13 Isa 29:9 Isa 29:13 2 Isa 3:26 Ljr 2:5 3 Luk 19:43 Luk 19:44 4 Isa 8:19 5 Isa 17:13 Isa 41:15 Isa 41:16 Isa 13:11 Isa 25:3 Isa 29:20 Isa 17:14 Isa 30:13 Isa 47:11 Th1 5:3 6 Isa 10:3 Isa 26:14 Isa 26:21 Sa1 2:10 Mat 24:7 Mar 13:8 Luk 21:11 Rev 11:13 Rev 11:19 Rev 16:18 7 Mic 4:11 Mic 4:12 Zec 12:9 Job 20:8 Psa 73:20 Isa 17:14 8 Isa 54:17 9 Isa 29:1 Isa 51:17 Isa 51:21 Isa 51:22 Isa 63:6 10 Psa 69:23 Isa 6:9 Isa 6:10 Mic 3:6 Rom 11:8 Isa 44:18 Th2 2:9-12
¹¹ The entire vision will be to you like the words of a sealed^k Or scrollbook, which when they give it to the one who^l Lit knows booksis literate, saying, “Please read this,” he will say, “I cannot, for it is sealed.” ¹² Then the^m Or scrollbook will be given to the one whoⁿ Lit does not know booksis illiterate, saying, “Please read this.” And he will say, “I^o Lit do not know bookscannot read.”	11 Isa 8:16 Dan 12:4 Dan 12:9 Mat 13:11
¹³ Then the Lord said,“Because this people draw near with their^p Lit mouthwords And honor Me with their^q Lit lipslip service, But they remove their hearts far from Me, And their^r Lit fear of Mereverence for Me^s Lit isconsists of^t Lit commandment of rulerstradition learned by rote, ¹⁴ Therefore behold, I will once again deal marvelously with this people, wondrously marvelous; And the wisdom of their wise men will perish, And the discernment of their discerning men will be concealed.” ¹⁵ Woe to those who deeply hide their^u Lit counselplans from the LORD, And whose deeds are done in a dark place, And they say, “Who sees us?” or “Who knows us?” ¹⁶ You turn things around! Shall the potter be considered^v Lit likeas equal with the clay, That what is made would say to its maker, “He did not make me”; Or what is formed say to him who formed it, “He has no understanding”?	13 Eze 33:31 Mat 15:8 Mat 15:9 Mar 7:6 Mar 7:7 14 Isa 6:9 Isa 6:10 Isa 28:21 Isa 65:7 Hab 1:5 Isa 44:25 Jer 8:9 Jer 49:7 Co1 1:19 15 Psa 10:11 Psa 10:13 Isa 28:15 Isa 30:1 Job 22:13 Isa 57:12 Eze 8:12 Psa 94:7 Isa 47:10 Mal 2:17 16 Isa 45:9 Isa 64:8 Jer 18:1-6 Rom 9:19-21
