 1 Woe,  Ariel,  Ariel the city where David once camped! Add year to year,   keep your feasts on schedule.  2 I will bring distress to Ariel, And she will be a city of grieving and  mourning; And she will be like an  Ariel to me.  3 I will  camp against you  encircling you, And I will set up siegeworks against you, And I will raise up battle towers against you.  4 Then you will  be brought low; From the earth you will speak, And from the dust where you are prostrate Your words will come. Your voice will also be like that of a  spirit from the ground, And your speech will whisper from the dust.  5 But the multitude of your  enemies will become like fine  dust, And the multitude of the  ruthless ones like the chaff which  blows away; And it will happen  instantly, suddenly.  6 From the Lord of armies you will be  punished with  thunder and earthquake and loud noise, With whirlwind and tempest and the flame of a consuming fire.  7 And the  multitude of all the nations who wage war against  Ariel, Even all who wage war against her and her stronghold, and who distress her, Will be like a dream, a  vision of the night.  8 It will be as when a hungry person dreams— And behold, he is eating; But when he awakens, his  hunger is not satisfied, Or as when a thirsty person dreams— And behold, he is drinking, But when he awakens, behold, he is faint And his  thirst is not quenched.  So will the multitude of all the nations be Who wage war against Mount Zion.  9  Be delayed and horrified, Blind yourselves and be blind; They  become drunk, but not with wine, They stagger, but not with intoxicating drink.  10 For the Lord has poured over you a spirit of deep  sleep, He has  shut your eyes—the prophets; And He has covered your heads—the seers. 11 The entire vision will be to you like the words of a sealed   book, which, when they give it to the one who  is literate, saying, “Please read this,” he will say, “I cannot, because it is sealed.” 12 Then the  book will be given to the one who  is illiterate, saying, “Please read this.” And he will say, “I  cannot read.” 13 Then the Lord said, “Because  this people approaches Me with their  words And honors Me with their lips, But their heart is far away from Me, And their  reverence for Me  consists of the commandment of men that is taught;  14 Therefore behold, I will once again deal  marvelously with this people, wondrously marvelous; And  the wisdom of their wise men will perish, And the understanding of their men who have understanding will be concealed.”  15 Woe to those who deeply  hide their  plans from the Lord, And whose  deeds are done in a dark place, And they say, “ Who sees us?” or “Who knows us?”  16 You turn things around! Shall the potter be considered  as equal with the clay, That  what is made would say to its maker, “He did not make me”; Or what is formed say to him who formed it, “He has no understanding”? 17 Is it not yet just a little while  Before Lebanon will be turned into a  fertile field, And the fertile field will be considered as a forest?  18 On that day those who are  deaf will hear  words of a book, And out of their gloom and darkness the  eyes of those who are blind will see.  19 The  afflicted also will increase their joy in the Lord, And the  needy of mankind will rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.  20 For the  ruthless will come to an end and the  scorner will be finished, Indeed  all who  are intent on doing evil will be eliminated,  21 Who  cause a person to be indicted by a word, And  set a trap for the arbitrator at the gate, And   defraud the one in the right with  meaningless arguments. 22 Therefore this is what the Lord, who redeemed  Abraham, says concerning the house of Jacob: “Jacob  will not be ashamed now, nor will his face turn pale now;  23 But when  he sees his  children, the  work of My hands, in his midst, They will sanctify My name; Indeed, they will  sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, And will stand in awe of the God of Israel.  24 Those who  err in  mind will  know  the truth, And those who  criticize will   accept instruction.

From Wikipedia: The New American Standard Bible (NASB) is an English translation of the Bible. Published by the Lockman Foundation, the first NASB text—a translation of the Gospel of John—was released in 1960. The NASB New Testament was released in 1963. The complete NASB Bible was released in 1971. The NASB is a revision of the American Standard Version.

The Lockman Foundation claims that the NASB "has been widely embraced as a literal and accurate English translation because it consistently uses the formal equivalence translation philosophy."
