Isaiah 29:2-4

Modern English Version

² Yet I will distress Ariel,
    and she shall be a city of lamenting and sorrow,
    and she shall be as an Ariel to me.
³ I will encamp against you all around,
    and will lay siege against you with a mound,
    and I will raise forts against you.
⁴ You shall be brought down, and shall speak from the ground,
    and from the dust where you are prostrate your speech shall come;
your voice shall also be as that of a ghost from the ground;
    and your speech shall whisper from the dust.
