29:1
vae Arihel Arihel civitas quam circumdedit David additusest annus ad annum sollemnitates evolutae sunt

29:2
et circumvallabo Arihel et erit tristis et maerens et eritmihi quasi Arihel

29:3
et circumdabo quasi spheram in circuitu tuo et iaciamcontra te aggerem et munimenta ponam in obsidionem tuam

29:4
humiliaberis de terra loqueris et de humo audietur eloquiumtuum et erit quasi pythonis de terra vox tua et de humoeloquium tuum mussitabit

29:5
et erit sicut pulvis tenuis multitudo ventilantium te etsicut favilla pertransiens multitudo eorum qui contra tepraevaluerunt

29:6
eritque repente confestim a Domino exercituum visitabiturin tonitru et commotione terrae et voce magna turbinis ettempestatis et flammae ignis devorantis

29:7
et erit sicut somnium visionis nocturnae multitudo omniumgentium quae dimicaverunt contra Arihel et omnes quimilitaverunt et obsederunt et praevaluerunt adversus eam

29:8
et sicuti somniat esuriens et comedit cum autem fueritexpertus vacua est anima eius et sicut somniat sitiens et bibitet postquam fuerit expergefactus lassus adhuc sitit et animaeius vacua est sic erit multitudo omnium gentium quaedimicaverunt contra montem Sion

29:9
obstupescite et admiramini fluctuate et vacillateinebriamini et non a vino movemini et non ebrietate

29:10
quoniam miscuit vobis Dominus spiritum soporis claudetoculos vestros prophetas et principes vestros qui videntvisiones operiet

29:11
et erit vobis visio omnium sicut verba libri signati quemcum dederint scienti litteras dicent lege istum et respondebitnon possum signatus est enim

29:12
et dabitur liber nescienti litteras diceturque ei lege etrespondebit nescio litteras

29:13
et dixit Dominus eo quod adpropinquat populus iste ore suoet labiis suis glorificat me cor autem eius longe est a me ettimuerunt me mandato hominum et doctrinis

29:14
ideo ecce ego addam ut admirationem faciam populo huicmiraculo grandi et stupendo peribit enim sapientia asapientibus eius et intellectus prudentium eius abscondetur

29:15
vae qui profundi estis corde ut a Domino abscondatisconsilium quorum sunt in tenebris opera et dicunt quis videtnos et quis novit nos

29:16
perversa est haec vestra cogitatio quasi lutum contrafigulum cogitet et dicat opus factori suo non fecisti me etfigmentum dicat fictori suo non intellegis

29:17
nonne adhuc in modico et in brevi convertetur Libanus inChermel et Chermel in saltum reputabitur

29:18
et audient in die illa surdi verba libri et de tenebris etcaligine oculi caecorum videbunt

29:19
et addent mites in Domino laetitiam et pauperes homines inSancto Israhel exultabunt

29:20
quoniam defecit qui praevalebat consummatus est inlusor etsuccisi sunt omnes qui vigilabant super iniquitatem

29:21
qui peccare faciebant homines in verbo et arguentem inporta subplantabant et declinaverunt frustra a iusto

29:22
propter hoc haec dicit Dominus ad domum Iacob qui redemitAbraham non modo confundetur Iacob nec modo vultus eiuserubescet

29:23
sed cum viderit filios suos opera manuum mearum in mediosui sanctificantes nomen meum et sanctificabunt Sanctum Iacobet Deum Israhel praedicabunt

29:24

029:001
Woe to Ariel, to Ariel, the city where David dwelt! add ye year to year; let them kill sacrifices.

029:002
Yet I will distress Ariel, and there shall be heaviness and sorrow: and it shall be unto me as Ariel.

029:003
And I will camp against thee round about, and will lay siege against thee with a mount, and I will raise forts against thee.

029:004
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.

029:005
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.

029:006
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.

029:007
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.

029:008
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.

029:009
Stay yourselves, and wonder; cry ye out, and cry: they are drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink.

029:010
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.

029:011
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:

029:012
And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned.

029:013
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:

029:014
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.

029:015
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?

029:016
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?

029:017
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?

029:018
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.

029:019
The meek also shall increase their joy in the LORD, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.

029:020
For the terrible one is brought to nought, and the scorner is consumed, and all that watch for iniquity are cut off:

029:021
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.

029:022
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.

029:023
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.

029:024
They also that erred in spirit shall come to understanding, and they that murmured shall learn doctrine.
