Isaiah 29:1-3

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

The Siege of Jerusalem

29 Ah, Ariel, Ariel,
    the city where David encamped!
Add year to year;
    let the festivals run their round.
²Yet I will distress Ariel,
    and there shall be moaning and lamentation,
    and Jerusalem^[a] shall be to me like an Ariel.^[b]
³And like David^[c] I will encamp against you;
    I will besiege you with towers
    and raise siegeworks against you.
