23:029:003 And I will camp against thee round about,
and will lay siege
against
thee with a mount, and I will raise forts against
thee.
23:029:004 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.
23:029:005 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.
23:029:006 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.
23:029:007 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.
23:029:008 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.
23:029:009 Stay yourselves, and wonder; cry ye out,
and cry: they are
drunken,
but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong
drink.
23:029:010 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.
23:029:011 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:
23:029:012 And the book is delivered to him that is
not learned, saying,
Read
this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned.
23:029:013 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:
23:029:014 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.
23:029:015 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?
