1Yo, vibes are off for Ariel, the city where David chillaxed! Keep adding years, let 'em throw down sacrifices.

2But I'm about to stress Ariel out, heavy feels and sad vibes: it's gonna hit different for me like Ariel.

3I'm rolling up on you, setting up camp all around, gonna lay siege with some serious fort vibes.

4You gonna get knocked down, talking from the ground like a ghost, whispers coming outta the dust.

5The crowd of your outsiders gonna be like tiny dust, and the scary ones gonna blow away like chaff, real quick.

6The Lord of hosts gonna show up with thunder, earthquakes, and mad noise, bringing the storm and fire that devours.

7All the nations coming for Ariel, trying to flex on her, gonna be like a wild dream from a night vision.

8It's like when a hungry dude dreams he's eating, but wakes up and is still starving; or a thirsty dude dreaming of drinks but wakes up parched. That’s how all the nations against Zion gonna feel.

9Chill out and be shook; shout out, they're all tipsy but not from wine, wobbling but not from the strong stuff.

10For the Lord dropped that deep sleep vibe on you, closed your eyes: the prophets and rulers are all blind now.

11The vision is like a sealed book, handed to a smart dude saying, “Read this,” and he’s like, “Nah, it’s sealed.”

12And the book's given to someone who ain't learned, saying, “Read this,” and he’s like, “I can't read, no cap.”

13So the Lord’s like, since this crew comes at me with their mouths but their hearts are far, they fear me based on what dudes taught.

14So check it, I'm about to pop off with some crazy work among this crew, a wonder: the wisdom of their wise ones gonna vanish, and the smart peeps' understanding gonna be hidden.

15Woe to those who try to hide their plans from the Lord, doing their thing in the dark, thinking, “Who sees us? Who knows us?”

16For sure, flipping things upside down gonna be seen as just clay: can the creation say to the creator, “You didn’t make me?”

17Isn’t it just a little while before Lebanon turns into a fruitful field, and that field gets called a forest?

18And on that day, the deaf gonna hear the book’s words, and the blind gonna see outta darkness.

19The humble gonna vibe up their joy in the Lord, and the poor gonna rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.

20For the savage one gonna be taken out, the mocker gonna be gone, and all who watch for wickedness gonna be cut off.

21They trap a dude for a word, setting snares for those who call out in the gate, flipping the just for nothing.

22So the Lord, who redeemed Abraham, says about Jacob’s house, Jacob ain't gonna be ashamed, and his face ain’t gonna turn pale.

23But when he sees his kids, the work of my hands among him, they gonna honor my name, respect the Holy One of Jacob, and fear the God of Israel.

24Those who messed up in spirit gonna get the real deal understanding, and the haters gonna learn the doctrine.

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

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

3And I will camp against thee round about, and will lay siege against thee with a mount, and I will raise forts against thee.

4And 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.

5Moreover 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.

6Thou 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.

7And 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.

8It 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.

9Stay yourselves, and wonder; cry ye out, and cry: they are drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink.

10For 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.

11And 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:

12And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned.

13Wherefore 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:

14Therefore, 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.

15Woe 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?

16Surely 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?

17Is 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?

18And 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.

19The meek also shall increase their joy in the Lord, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.

20For the terrible one is brought to nought, and the scorner is consumed, and all that watch for iniquity are cut off:

21That 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.

22Therefore 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.

23But 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.

24They also that erred in spirit shall come to understanding, and they that murmured shall learn doctrine.
