Isaias

27 For fennel is not threshed with a sledge, nor is a cart wheel rolled upon cummin; for fennel is beaten out with a staff, and cummin with a rod.

28 Bread (corn) is crushed ; for not for ever is he threshing it, and driving his cart wheel and his horses; he doth not crush it.

29 This also cometh forth from the Lord of Hosts; he maketh counsel wonderful, he maketh wisdom great.

XXIX. 1 Ah, Ariel, Ariel, city (where) David camped! add ye year to year; let the feasts go round.

2 And I will distress Ariel, and there shall be lamentation and lament; and she shall be unto me as Ariel.

3 And I will encamp against thee round about, and will lay ’ siege against thee with a mound, and raise siege works against thee :

4 And thou shalt be brought down, out of the earth shalt thou speak, and thy speech shall come low from the dust; and thy voice shall be as that of a ghost from the ground, and thy speech shall chirp out of the dust.

5 And the multitude of thy strangers shall be like small dust, and the multitude of the terrible ones like passing chaff; and it shall be in a moment suddenly.

6 From the LORD of Hosts shall she be visited with thunder, and earthquake, and great noise; whirlwind, and tempest, and flame of devouring fire.

7 And as a dream, a vision of the night, shall the multitude of all the nations be, that are arrayed against Ariel, even all that are arrayed against her and her fortress, and distress her.
