Isaiah 29:2-4

New International Version - UK

² Yet I will besiege Ariel;
    she will mourn and lament,
    she will be to me like an altar hearth.^[a]
3 I will encamp against you on all sides;
    I will encircle you with towers
    and set up my siege works against you.
⁴ Brought low, you will speak from the ground;
    your speech will mumble out of the dust.
Your voice will come ghostlike from the earth;
    out of the dust your speech will whisper.
