Isaiah 29

Isaiah remains more difficult than others. Sometimes the software makes no guess, sometimes only a single guess. Percentages of the remaining chapters are stubbornly around 30% guessed where remaining chapters of other books  are 10 to 20% higher.

Verse 10 has a strange use of עצם normally bones or numerous, but in this case something one does to eyes. Of course one can close them or blind them, but one would not need to use עצם for that action. So I thought of using bone as a verb. But staunch might just work. It is used by Isaiah in a similar sense in 33:15.

ה֚וֹי אֲרִיאֵ֣ל אֲרִיאֵ֔ל קִרְיַ֖ת חָנָ֣ה דָוִ֑ד סְפ֥וּ שָׁנָ֛ה עַל־שָׁנָ֖ה חַגִּ֥ים יִנְקֹֽפוּ	1	C	Alas, Ariel, Ariel, the town of the camp of David, let them snatch, year in year out, let them strike festive sacrifices.	3d	4C	14 12
וַהֲצִיק֖וֹתִי לַֽאֲרִיאֵ֑ל וְהָיְתָ֤ה תַֽאֲנִיָּה֙ וַֽאֲנִיָּ֔ה וְהָ֥יְתָה לִּ֖י כַּאֲרִיאֵֽל	2		And I will distress Ariel. And there will be opportunity and opportuning, and it will be to me as Ariel.	3e	4C	9 19
וְחָנִ֥יתִי כַדּ֖וּר עָלָ֑יִךְ וְצַרְתִּ֤י עָלַ֙יִךְ֙ מֻצָּ֔ב וַהֲקִֽימֹתִ֥י עָלַ֖יִךְ מְצֻרֹֽת	3		And I will encamp like a ball over you. And I will lay siege to you with firmness, and I will raise up fortifications over you.	3e	4C	9 19
וְשָׁפַלְתְּ֙ מֵאֶ֣רֶץ תְּדַבֵּ֔רִי וּמֵֽעָפָ֖ר תִּשַּׁ֣ח אִמְרָתֵ֑ךְ וְֽ֠הָיָה כְּא֤וֹב מֵאֶ֙רֶץ֙ קוֹלֵ֔ךְ וּמֵעָפָ֖ר אִמְרָתֵ֥ךְ תְּצַפְצֵֽף	4		And you will be abased. From the earth you will speak, and from dust your promise will be depressed. and your voice will be like a necromancer from the earth, and from dust your promise will peep.	3e	4C	20 20
וְהָיָ֛ה כְּאָבָ֥ק דַּ֖ק הֲמ֣וֹן זָרָ֑יִךְ וּכְמֹ֤ץ עֹבֵר֙ הֲמ֣וֹן עָֽרִיצִ֔ים וְהָיָ֖ה לְפֶ֥תַע פִּתְאֹֽם	5		And the tumult of your strangers will be as powder stamped out. And as chaff passing through, the tumult of the ruthless. And it will happen suddenly. Suddenly.	3d	4C	12 17
מֵעִ֨ם יְהוָ֤ה צְבָאוֹת֙ תִּפָּקֵ֔ד בְּרַ֥עַם וּבְרַ֖עַשׁ וְק֣וֹל גָּד֑וֹל סוּפָה֙ וּסְעָרָ֔ה וְלַ֖הַב אֵ֥שׁ אוֹכֵלָֽה	6		From Yahweh of hosts you will be visited, with thunder and with quake, and a great voice, storm-wind, and tempest, and the flame of a consuming fire.	3e	4C	20 12
וְהָיָ֗ה כַּֽחֲלוֹם֙ חֲז֣וֹן לַ֔יְלָה הֲמוֹן֙ כָּל־הַגּוֹיִ֔ם הַצֹּבְאִ֖ים עַל־אֲרִיאֵ֑ל וְכָל־צֹבֶ֙יהָ֙ וּמְצֹ֣דָתָ֔הּ וְהַמְּצִיקִ֖ים לָֽהּ	7		And it will be as a dream, a vision by night, the tumult of all the nations, the hosts over Ariel, and the whole of her estate, and her hunters, and those who distress her.	3e	4B	23 14
וְהָיָ֡ה כַּאֲשֶׁר֩ יַחֲלֹ֨ם הָרָעֵ֜ב וְהִנֵּ֣ה אוֹכֵ֗ל וְהֵקִיץ֮ וְרֵיקָ֣ה נַפְשׁוֹ֒ וְכַאֲשֶׁ֨ר יַחֲלֹ֤ם הַצָּמֵא֙ וְהִנֵּ֣ה שֹׁתֶ֔ה וְהֵקִיץ֙ וְהִנֵּ֣ה עָיֵ֔ף וְנַפְשׁ֖וֹ שׁוֹקֵקָ֑ה כֵּ֣ן יִֽהְיֶ֗ה הֲמוֹן֙ כָּל־הַגּוֹיִ֔ם הַצֹּבְאִ֖ים עַל־הַ֥ר צִיּֽוֹן	8		And it will be that as one who is hungry dreams, and behold it eats, but it awakens, and its cadaver is empty or as one who is thirsty dreams and behold, it imbibes, but it awakens, and behold, exhausted, but its cadaver is shiftless. So will be the tumult of all the nations, the hosts on the hill of Zion.	3e	4C	54 16
הִתְמַהְמְה֣וּ וּתְמָ֔הוּ הִשְׁתַּֽעַשְׁע֖וּ וָשֹׁ֑עוּ שָֽׁכְר֣וּ וְלֹא־יַ֔יִן נָע֖וּ וְלֹ֥א שֵׁכָֽר	9		Linger yourselves, and marvel, and reveling, revel. They are intoxicated, but not with wine, wavering to and fro, but not with strong drink.	3e	4B	14 11
כִּֽי־נָסַ֨ךְ עֲלֵיכֶ֤ם יְהוָה֙ ר֣וּחַ תַּרְדֵּמָ֔ה וַיְעַצֵּ֖ם אֶת־עֵֽינֵיכֶ֑ם אֶת־הַנְּבִיאִ֛ים וְאֶת־רָאשֵׁיכֶ֥ם הַחֹזִ֖ים כִּסָּֽה	10		For Yahweh has spilled out over you a spirit of stupour and he has staunched your eyes, (the prophets), and your heads (the visionaries) he has covered.	3d	4C	19 14
וַתְּהִ֨י לָכֶ֜ם חָז֣וּת הַכֹּ֗ל כְּדִבְרֵי֮ הַסֵּ֣פֶר הֶֽחָתוּם֒ אֲשֶֽׁר־יִתְּנ֣וּ אֹת֗וֹ אֶל־יוֹדֵ֥עַ סֵ֛פֶר לֵאמֹ֖ר קְרָ֣א נָא־זֶ֑ה וְאָמַר֙ לֹ֣א אוּכַ֔ל כִּ֥י חָת֖וּם הֽוּא	11		For the whole vision has become to you as the words of the sealed book that they give to one who knows correspondence, saying, Recite, if you will, this one. And such says, I am not able for it is sealed.	3d	4B	35 10
וְנִתַּ֣ן הַסֵּ֗פֶר עַל֩ אֲשֶׁ֨ר לֹֽא־יָדַ֥ע סֵ֛פֶר לֵאמֹ֖ר קְרָ֣א נָא־זֶ֑ה וְאָמַ֕ר לֹ֥א יָדַ֖עְתִּי סֵֽפֶר	12		And the book is given to one who does not know correspondence, saying, Recite, if you will, this one. And such says, I do not know correspondence.	3d	4B	19 9
וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֲדֹנָ֗י יַ֚עַן כִּ֤י נִגַּשׁ֙ הָעָ֣ם הַזֶּ֔ה בְּפִ֤יו וּבִשְׂפָתָיו֙ כִּבְּד֔וּנִי וְלִבּ֖וֹ רִחַ֣ק מִמֶּ֑נִּי וַתְּהִ֤י יִרְאָתָם֙ אֹתִ֔י מִצְוַ֥ת אֲנָשִׁ֖ים מְלֻמָּדָֽה	13		And my Lord said, Because this people come close with their mouth, and with their lips they glorify me, but their heart is distant from me, and their fear of me is the commandment of mortals being taught,	3e	4C	32 16
לָכֵ֗ן הִנְנִ֥י יוֹסִ֛ף לְהַפְלִ֥יא אֶת־הָֽעָם־הַזֶּ֖ה הַפְלֵ֣א וָפֶ֑לֶא וְאָֽבְדָה֙ חָכְמַ֣ת חֲכָמָ֔יו וּבִינַ֥ת נְבֹנָ֖יו תִּסְתַּתָּֽר	14		So note me well adding wonderfully to this people, the wonder and wonderful. And the shrewdness of their wise will perish, and the discernment of their discerning will be hidden.	3d	4B	19 17
ה֛וֹי הַמַּעֲמִיקִ֥ים מֵֽיהוָ֖ה לַסְתִּ֣ר עֵצָ֑ה וְהָיָ֤ה בְמַחְשָׁךְ֙ מַֽעֲשֵׂיהֶ֔ם וַיֹּ֣אמְר֔וּ מִ֥י רֹאֵ֖נוּ וּמִ֥י יוֹדְעֵֽנוּ	15	d	Alas the inscrutable things, from Yahweh to hide counsel. And from darkness are their deeds, and they say, Who sees us? And who knows us?	3d	4C	13 22
הַ֨פְכְּכֶ֔ם אִם־כְּחֹ֥מֶר הַיֹּצֵ֖ר יֵֽחָשֵׁ֑ב כִּֽי־יֹאמַ֨ר מַעֲשֶׂ֤ה לְעֹשֵׂ֙הוּ֙ לֹ֣א עָשָׂ֔נִי וְיֵ֛צֶר אָמַ֥ר לְיוֹצְר֖וֹ לֹ֥א הֵבִֽין	16	~	Your overturning, rather, as the clay of the potter will be reckoned, for would what is made say to its maker, He did not make me? Or what is fashioned say to its fashioner, He has no discernment.	3d	4C	13 24
הֲלוֹא־עוֹד֙ מְעַ֣ט מִזְעָ֔ר וְשָׁ֥ב לְבָנ֖וֹן לַכַּרְמֶ֑ל וְהַכַּרְמֶ֖ל לַיַּ֥עַר יֵחָשֵֽׁב	17		Is it not yet a little and somewhat close that Lebanon will be turned into a plantation? And the plantation as forest be reckoned?	3e	4B	15 10
וְשָׁמְע֧וּ בַיּוֹם־הַה֛וּא הַחֵרְשִׁ֖ים דִּבְרֵי־סֵ֑פֶר וּמֵאֹ֣פֶל וּמֵחֹ֔שֶׁךְ עֵינֵ֥י עִוְרִ֖ים תִּרְאֶֽינָה	18		Then the deaf will hear in that day the words of the book, and from gloom and from darkness, the eyes of the blind will see.	3c	4B	13 15
וְיָסְפ֧וּ עֲנָוִ֛ים בַּֽיהוָ֖ה שִׂמְחָ֑ה וְאֶבְיוֹנֵ֣י אָדָ֔ם בִּקְד֥וֹשׁ יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל יָגִֽילוּ	19		And the afflicted in Yahweh will add to gladness, and the needy of humanity in the Holy One of Israel will rejoice.	3c	4B	10 14
כִּֽי־אָפֵ֥ס עָרִ֖יץ וְכָ֣לָה לֵ֑ץ וְנִכְרְת֖וּ כָּל־שֹׁ֥קְדֵי אָֽוֶן	20		For the ruthless has come to an end and the scornful will be finished, and all vigilant for mischief will be cut off.	3e	4B	8 9
מַחֲטִיאֵ֤י אָדָם֙ בְּדָבָ֔ר וְלַמּוֹכִ֥יחַ בַּשַּׁ֖עַר יְקֹשׁ֑וּן וַיַּטּ֥וּ בַתֹּ֖הוּ צַדִּֽיק	21		Making a human into a sinner with a word, and for the referee by the gate, entrapment, and bending a righteous one into disorder.	3e	4C	20 8
לָכֵ֗ן כֹּֽה־אָמַ֤ר יְהוָה֙ אֶל־בֵּ֣ית יַֽעֲקֹ֔ב אֲשֶׁ֥ר פָּדָ֖ה אֶת־אַבְרָהָ֑ם לֹֽא־עַתָּ֤ה יֵבוֹשׁ֙ יַֽעֲקֹ֔ב וְלֹ֥א עַתָּ֖ה פָּנָ֥יו יֶחֱוָֽרוּ	22		Therefore thus says Yahweh concerning the house of Jacob, who ransoms Abraham, Not now will Jacob be ashamed and not now will his face pale.	3e	4C	20 17
כִּ֣י בִ֠רְאֹתוֹ יְלָדָ֞יו מַעֲשֵׂ֥ה יָדַ֛י בְּקִרְבּ֖וֹ יַקְדִּ֣ישֽׁוּ שְׁמִ֑י וְהִקְדִּ֙ישׁוּ֙ אֶת־קְד֣וֹשׁ יַֽעֲקֹ֔ב וְאֶת־אֱלֹהֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל יַעֲרִֽיצוּ	23	B	But when they see their successions, the deed of my hands near them, they will sanctify my name, and sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and of the God of Israel, they will be in panic.	3d	4B	20 22
וְיָדְע֥וּ תֹֽעֵי־ר֖וּחַ בִּינָ֑ה וְרוֹגְנִ֖ים יִלְמְדוּ־לֶֽקַח	24		And those who wandered in spirit will know discernment, and those who nattered will learn tuition.	3e	4A	8 7

I think I have left verse 16 difficult to read. I have left the word order as for Hebrew. It is also in English subject, modifier, simile as adjectival clause, verb.

16

הפככם your overturningהפך אם ratherאם כחמר as the clay ofחמר היצר the potterיצר יחשׁב will be reckonedחשׁב כי forכי יאמר would sayאמר מעשׂה what is madeעשׂה לעשׂהו to its makerעשׂה לא notלא עשׂני he did make meעשׂה ויצר or what is fashionedיצר אמר sayאמר ליוצרו to its fashionerיצר לא noלא הבין he has discernmentבין

This order keeps the music with English underlay with the Hebrew shape of the verse. I can't do it in some verses (like 20 where the word order is three repetitions of verb-subject.

Note that ruthless and panic are the same stem ערץ. I am not at liberty to use fear in verse 23.
