Isaiah 29:2-4

The Voice

² In the meantime, I will trouble Ariel to the point of mourning and crying.
    She will be for me a fiery hearth.
³ I will surround you, enclose you, cut you off.
    I will isolate you from aid or reprieve;
I will attack the city walls with towers and siege works.
⁴ That will humble you so low, you’ll speak from the earth itself.
    And when you do, your voice will issue from the very dust where you lie;
Your voice will rise from the ground like the voice of a ghost,
    like a soft whisper from the earth.
