Ariel, Visions of Isaiah

I. Woe to Ariel

Isaiah 29: 1-4
Woe to Ariel, to Ariel, the city where David dwelt! Add ye year to year; let them kill sacrifices. 
Yet I will distress Ariel, there shall be heaviness and sorrow; and it shall be unto me as Ariel.
I will camp against thee, I will lay siege against thee, and will raise forts against thee.
And thou shalt be brought down, and shalt speak out of the ground, and their speech shall whisper out of the dust.

II. The Earth Mourneth

Isaiah 24:4
The earth mourneth and fadeth away, the world languisheth and fadeth away.

Isaiah 26:20
Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast.

Isaiah 5:8
Woe unto them that join house to house. Woe unto them that lay field to field, till there be no place, that they may be placed alone in the midst of the earth.

III. The Daughters of Zion are Haughty

Isaiah 3:16-24
The daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet: Therefore the Lord will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion.
Therefore the Lord will take away the tinkling ornaments about their feet, their cauls and chains and bracelets and mufflers,
Their rings and bonnets and headbands and jewels, the changeable suits of apparel, the mantles and wimples and crisping pins,
The bracelets and mufflers and bonnets and earrings, the tablets and jewels and headbands and linen, the hoods and veils.
Instead of sweet smell there shall be stink; instead of a girdle a rent; and instead of beauty, burning.

IV. Fear, and the Pit, and the Snare

Fear, and the pit, and the snare are upon thee, inhabitant of the earth.

Behold joy and gladness, eating flesh and drinking wine. Let us eat and drink; for tomorrow we shall die. Who seeth us? Who knoweth us? Whiter shall we flee? How shall we escape?

Say to them that are of a fearful heart: Be strong, fear not: the Lord will come and save you. The haughty are brought to naught. All that watch for inquity are consumed. The meek, and the poor among men shall also rejoice in the Lord.

O Lord, I will praise thee: though Thou was angry with me, thine anger is turned away, and Thou comfortdest me.
