Isaiah 29:1-4

The Siege of Jerusalem

1 Ah, Ariel, Ariel,
the city ^awhere David encamped!
Add year to year;
let the feasts run their round.
2 Yet I will distress Ariel,
and there shall be moaning and lamentation,
and she shall be to me like an Ariel. ^{▼▼ Ariel could mean lion of God, or hero (2 Samuel 23:20), or altar hearth (Ezekiel 43:15–16)}
3 ^cAnd I will encamp against you all around,
and will besiege you ^dwith towers
and I will raise siegeworks against you.
4 ^eAnd you will be brought low; from the earth you shall speak,
and from the dust your speech will be bowed down;
your voice shall come from the ground like ^fthe voice of a ghost,
and from the dust your speech shall whisper.
