Isaias 29:1-7 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

1. WOE to Ariel, to Ariel the city which David took: year is added to year: the solemnities are at an end.

2. And I will make a trench about Ariel, and it shall be in sorrow and mourning, and it shall be to me as Ariel.

3. And I will make a circle round about thee, and will cast up a rampart against thee, and raise up bulwarks to besiege thee.

4. Thou shalt be brought down, thou shalt speak out of the earth, and thy speech shall be heard out of the ground: and thy voice shall be from the earth like that of the python, and out of the ground thy speech shall mutter.

5. And the multitude of them that fan thee, shall be like small dust: and as ashes passing away, the multitude of them that have prevailed against thee.

6. And it shall be at an instant suddenly. A visitation shall come from the Lord of hosts in thunder, and with earthquake, and with a great noise of whirlwind and tempest, and with the flame of devouring fire.

7. And the multitude of all nations that have fought against Ariel, shall be as the dream of a vision by night, and all that have fought, and besieged and prevailed against it.
