1. WOE to Ariel, to Ariel, the city where David dwelt! add ye year to year; let them kill sacrifices. |

2 |
|
|||
2. Yet I will distress Ariel, and there shall be heaviness and sorrow: and it shall be unto me as Ariel. |

4. |
|
|||
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. |
|
4. And when you have been laid low, you will speak from the ground, your words uttering out of the dust: your voice from the ground shall be like that of a medium; your sayings shall whisper out of the dust. |

5. |
|
|||
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 a- way: yea, it shall be at an instant suddenly. |
|
5. Suddenly, in an instant, your crowds of evildoersb shall become as fine dust, your violent mobs like flying chaff. |

7. ¶ And the multitude of all the na- tions 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 hun- gry 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. |
|
8. like a hungry man who dreams he eats, but awakens famished, or like a thirsty man who dreams he drinks, but wakes up faint and craving. So shall be all the nations that amass to fight against Mount Zion. |

13. ¶ Wherefore the Lord said, For- asmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have re- moved their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men: |
|
13. But my Lord says, Because these people approach me with the mouth and pay me homage with their lips, while their heart remains far from me— their piety toward me consisting of commandments of men learned by rote— |

14. Therefore, behold, I will pro- ceed to do a marvellous work a- mong 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. |

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? |
