"  It shall even be as when an hungry 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, faint, and his soul hath appetite: so shall the multitude of all the nations be, that fight against mount Zion.  Stay yourselves, and wonder; cry ye out, and cry: they are drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink.  For YAHVEH 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.  And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I cannot; for it sealed:  And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned.   Wherefore Adonai said, Forasmuch as this people draw near 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:  Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent shall be hid.  Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from YAH VEH, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us?  And who knoweth us?  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?  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?  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.   The meek also shall increase joy in YAHVEH, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.  For the terrible one is brought to nought, and the scorner is consumed, and all that watch for iniquity are cut off:  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.  Therefore thus saith YAHVEH, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob, Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall his face now wax pale.  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.  They also that erred in spirit shall come to understanding, and they that murmured shall learn doctrine.  Woe to the rebellious children, saith YAHVEH, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin:  That walk to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at my mouth; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to trust in the shadow of Egypt!  Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your shame, and the trust in the shadow of Egypt confusion.  For his princes were at Zoan, and his ambassadors came to Hanes.  They were all ashamed of a people could not profit them, nor be an help nor profit, but a shame, and also a reproach.  The burden of the beasts of the south: into the land of trouble and anguish, from whence the young and old lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent, they will carry their riches upon the shoulders of young asses, and their treasures upon the bunches of camels, to a people shall not profit.  For the Egyptians shall help in vain, and to no purpose: therefore have I cried concerning this, Their strength to sit still.  Now go, write it before them in a table, and note it in a book, that it may be for the time to come for ever and ever:  That this a rebellious people, lying children, children will not hear the law of YAHVEH:  Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits:  Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.  Wherefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel, Because ye despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and stay thereon:  Therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking cometh suddenly at an instant.  And he shall break it as the breaking of the potters’ vessel that is broken in pieces; he shall not spare: so that there shall not be found in the bursting of it a sherd to take fire from the hearth, or to take water out of the pit.  For thus saith Adonai GOD, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not.  But ye said, No; for we will flee upon horses; therefore shall ye flee: and, We will ride upon the swift; therefore shall they that pursue you be swift.  One thousand at the rebuke of one; at the rebuke of five shall ye flee: till ye be left as a beacon upon the top of a mountain, and as an ensign on an hill.  And therefore will YAHVEH wait, that he may be gracious unto you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you: for YAHVEH a GOD of judgment: blessed all they that wait for him.  For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem: thou shalt weep no more: he will be very gracious unto thee at the voice of thy cry; when he shall hear it, he will answer thee.  And Adonai give you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction, yet shall not thy teachers be removed into a corner any more, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers:  And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.  Ye shall defile also the covering of thy graven images of silver, and the ornament of thy molten images of gold: thou shalt cast them away as a menstruous cloth; thou shalt say unto it, Get thee hence.  Then shall he give the rain of thy seed, that thou shalt sow the ground withal; and bread of the increase of the earth, and it shall be fat and plenteous: in that day shall thy cattle feed in large pastures.  The oxen likewise and the young asses that ear the ground shall eat clean provender, which hath been winnowed with the shovel and with the fan.  And there shall be upon every high mountain, and upon every high hill, rivers streams of waters in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall.  Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that YAHVEH bindeth up the breach of his people, and healeth the stroke of their wound.  Behold, the name of YAHVEH cometh from far, burning his anger, and the burden heavy: his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue as a devouring fire:  And his breath, as an overflowing stream, shall reach to the midst of the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of vanity: and a bridle in the jaws of the people, causing to err.  Ye shall have a song, as in the night a holy solemnity is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one goeth with a pipe to come into the mountain of YAHVEH, to the mighty One of Israel.  And YAH VEH shall cause his glorious voice to be heard, and shall shew the lighting down of his arm, with the indignation of anger, and the flame of a devouring fire, scattering, and tempest, and hailstones.  For through the voice of YAHVEH shall the Assyrian be beaten down, smote with a rod.  And every place where the grounded staff shall pass, which YAHVEH shall lay upon him, shall be with tabrets and harps: and in battles of shaking will he fight with it.  For Tophet ordained of old; yea, for the king it is prepared; he hath made deep large: the pile thereof fire and much wood; the breath of YAH VEH, like a stream of brimstone, doth kindle it.  Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help; and stay on horses, and trust in chariots, because   many; and in horsemen, because they are very strong; but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek YAH VEH!  Yet he also wise, and will bring evil, and will not call back his words: but will arise against the house of the evildoers, and against the help of them that work iniquity."
