Isaiah 28 | Isaiah 30
Chapter 29
A people (the Nephites) will speak as a voice from the dust—The Apostasy, restoration of the gospel, and coming forth of a sealed book (the Book of Mormon) are foretold—Compare 2 Nephi 27.
1.
Woe to
Ariel, to Ariel, the city David dwelt! add ye year to year; let them kill sacrifices.
1.
2. Yet I will distress Ariel, and there shall be heaviness and
sorrow: and it shall be unto me as Ariel.
2.
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.
3.
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.
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.
5.
6. 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.
6.
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.
7.
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.
8.
9. ¶Stay yourselves, and wonder; cry ye out, and cry: they are
drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink.
9.
10. 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.
10.
11. 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:
11.
12. And the book is delivered to
him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned.
12.
13. ¶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:
13.
14. 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.
14.
15. 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?
15.
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?
16.
17. 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?
17.
18. ¶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.
18.
19. The meek also shall increase their
joy in the Lord, and the
poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
19.
20. For the terrible one is brought to nought, and the scorner is consumed, and all that
watch for iniquity are
cut off:
20.
21. 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.
21.
22. 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.
22.
23. 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.
23.
24. They also that
erred in spirit shall come to understanding, and they that murmured shall
learn doctrine.
24.
