Isaiah 29:2-4

Expanded Bible

² I will ·attack [threaten; bring distress to] ·Jerusalem [^LAriel; v. 1],
    and that city will be filled with ·sadness [mourning] and ·crying [lamentation].
    It will be like an ·altar [or altar hearth; ^Cthe Hebrew word sounds like Ariel, perhaps indicating that Jerusalem will burn like an altar] to me.
³ I will ·put armies all around you [encamp against/besiege you; ^Csame word as in v. 1];
    I will surround you with towers
    and with ·devices to attack [siege works against] you.
⁴ You will be pulled down and will speak from the ground;
    I will hear your voice rising from the ·ground [or underworld].
It will sound like the voice of a ghost;
    your words will come like a whisper from the ·dirt [dust].
