Isaiah 29:6

Isaiah 29:6

4 You shall be brought down,
You shall speak out of the ground;
Your speech shall be low, out of the dust;
Your voice shall be like a medium’s, ^aout of the ground;
And your speech shall whisper out of the dust.

5 “Moreover the multitude of your ^afoes
Shall be like fine dust,
And the multitude of the terrible ones
Like ^bchaff that passes away;
Yes, it shall be ^cin an instant, suddenly.

6 ^aYou will be punished by the Lord of hosts
With thunder and ^bearthquake and great noise,
With storm and tempest
And the flame of devouring fire.

7 ^aThe multitude of all the nations who fight against¹ Ariel,
Even all who fight against her and her fortress,
And distress her,
Shall be ^bas a dream of a night vision.

8 ^aIt shall even be as when a hungry man dreams,
And look—he eats;
But he awakes, and his soul is still empty;
Or as when a thirsty man dreams,
And look—he drinks;
But he awakes, and indeed he is faint,
And his soul still craves:
So the multitude of all the nations shall be,
Who fight against Mount Zion.”

The Blindness of Disobedience

9 Pause and wonder!
Blind yourselves and be blind!
^aThey are drunk, ^bbut not with wine;
They stagger, but not with intoxicating drink.

10 For ^athe Lord has poured out on you
The spirit of deep sleep,
And has ^bclosed your eyes, namely, the prophets;
And He has covered your heads, namely, ^cthe seers.

Thou—the Assyrian army.

thunder, etc.—not literally, in the case of the Assyrians (Isaiah 37:36); but figuratively for an awful judgment (Isaiah 30:30; Isaiah 28:17). The ulterior fulfilment, in the case of the Jews' foes in the last days, may be more literal (see as to "earthquake," Zechariah 14:4).
