ABP - Isaiah - 29

29:1  Woe city of Ariel, which David waged war. Gather together produce year by year! for you shall eat with Moab.

29:2  For I will squeeze Ariel, and [5will be 1her 2strength 3and 4riches] mine.

29:3  And I will encircle as David upon you, and I will throw up [2around 3you 1a siege mound], and I will build, and I will set [2around 3you 1towers].

29:4  And [2shall be abased 1your words] unto the ground. And unto the ground your words shall go down. And [2will be 3as 4the ones 5speaking out loud 6from out of 7the 8earth 1your voice]; and to the ground your voice shall weaken.

29:5  And [5will be 6as 7a cloud of dust 8from 9a wheel 1the 2riches 3of the 4impious]; and [6will be as 7dust 8being borne about 1the 2multitude 3of the ones 4afflicting 5you]; and it will be [2as 3a moment 1immediate],

29:6  by the lord of Hosts; [3a visitation 1for 2there will be] with thunder, and earthquake, and [2sound 1a great], a blast being borne about, and a flame of fire devouring.

29:7  And [6will be 7as 8ones dreaming 9in 10sleep 1the 2riches 3of all 4the 5nations], as many as march against Ariel, and all the ones soldiering against Jerusalem, and all the ones gathering together against her, and the ones afflicting her.

29:8  And it shall be as the ones in sleep drinking and eating and rising up. [4is vain 3of them 1the 2dream], and in which manner [5shall dream 1the one 2thirsting 3and 4drinking], and rising up they still thirst, and his soul [2in 3vain 1hoped], so will be the riches of all the nations, as many as marched against mount Zion.

29:9  Be loosened! Be amazed and be dizzy! Not from liquor nor from wine.

29:10  For [2has given you to drink 1the lord] a spirit of vexation. And he will close the eyelids of their eyes, and their prophets, and their rulers, the ones seeing the hidden things.

29:11  And [4shall be 5to you 1all 3sayings 2these] as the words [2scroll 3having a seal set upon it 1of this]; which if they should give it to a man having knowledge of letters, saying, Read these things! Then he shall say, I am not able to read, for it is sealed.

29:12  And [3will be given 2scroll 1this] into the hands of a man not having knowledge of letters. And one shall say to him, Read this! And he shall say, I do not have knowledge of letters.

29:13  And the lord said, [2approach 3unto me 1this people] with their mouth, and by their lips they esteem me, but their heart is far off at a distance from me; and in vain they worship me, teaching the precepts [3of men 1and 2instructions].

29:14  On account of this, behold, I shall proceed to transpose this people; and I will transpose them, and I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; and [2the 3understanding 4of the 5discerning 1I will hide].

29:15  Woe to the ones deeply [2plans 1making], and not according to the lord. Woe to the ones [3in 4secret 2plans 1making]. And [2shall be 3in 4darkness 1their works], and they shall say, Who has seen us, and who shall know us or what we do?

29:16  [2not 4as 5clay 6for the 7potter 1Shall you 3be considered]? Shall [3say 1the 2thing shaped] to the one shaping, You did not shape me. Or the thing made by the one making it, [2not 3expertly 1You did] make me?

29:17  No longer a little while and [2shall be transposed 1Lebanon] as the mountain of fruitful field; and the mountain of fruitful field [2as 3a forest 1shall be considered].

29:18  And [4shall hear 1in 2that day 3deaf-mutes] the words of the scroll; and the ones in darkness, and the ones in fog -- the eyes of the blind will see,

29:19  and [2shall exult 1the poor] because of the lord with gladness, and the ones despairing of men shall be filled up with gladness.

29:20  [2failed 1The lawless one], and [2is destroyed 1the proud one], and [5shall be utterly destroyed 1the ones 2acting lawlessly 3concerning 4evil],

29:21  even the ones causing [2to sin 1men] by a word. [3all 1And 4the ones 5reproving 6at 7the gates 8to be considered for stumbling 2men shall make], for they bent away [2by 3unjust acts 1the just one].

29:22  On account of this, thus says the lord concerning the house of Jacob, whom he separated from Abraham, [3not 4now 2shall 5be ashamed 1Jacob], nor now [2countenance 1shall Israel change].

29:23  But whenever [2shall behold 1their children] my works, because of me they shall sanctify my name, and they shall sanctify the holy one of Jacob, and [2the 3God 4of Israel 1they shall fear].

29:24  And [5shall know 1the ones 2wandering 3in the 4spirit] understanding, and the ones grumbling shall learn to obey, and the [2tongues 1stuttering] shall learn to speak peace.
