also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the
refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.
18
And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not
stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.
19
From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by
day and by night: and it shall be a vexation only to understand the report.
20
For the bed is shorter
than that
a man
can stretch himself
on it:
and the covering narrower than that he can wrap himself
in it.
21
For the L
ORD
shall rise up as
in
mount Perazim, he shall be wroth as
in
the valley of Gibeon,
that he may do his work, his strange work; and bring to pass his act, his strange act.
22
Now therefore
be ye not mockers, lest your bands be made strong: for I have heard from the Lord GOD of hosts
a consumption, even determined upon the whole earth.
23
Give ye ear, and hear my voice; hearken, and hear my speech.
24
Doth the plowman plow all
day to sow? doth he open and break the clods of his ground?
25
When he hath made plain the face
thereof, doth he not cast abroad the fitches, and scatter the cummin, and cast in the principal wheat
and the appointed barley and rie in their place?
26
For his God doth instruct him to discretion,
and
doth teach him.
27
For the fitches are not threshed with a threshing instrument, neither is a cart
wheel turned about upon the cummin; but the fitches are beaten out with a staff, and the cummin
with a rod.
28
Bread
corn
is bruised; because he will not ever be threshing it, nor break
it with
the
wheel of his cart, nor bruise it
with
his horsemen.
29
This also cometh forth from the L
ORD
of hosts,
which
is wonderful in counsel,
and
excellent in working.
CHAPTER 29
Woe to Ariel, to Ariel, the city
where
David dwelt! add ye year to year; let them kill sacrifices.
2
Yet I will distress Ariel, and there shall be heaviness and sorrow: and it shall be unto me as Ariel.
3
And I will camp against thee round about, and will lay siege against thee with a mount, and I will
raise forts against thee.
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.
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
away: yea, it shall be at an instant suddenly.
6
Thou shalt be visited of the L
ORD
of hosts with
thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise, with storm and tempest, and the flame of devouring
fire.
7
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.
8
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.
