Then will I distress Ariel; and there shall be mourning and lamentation, yet she shall be to Me like an Ariel [an altar hearth, a hearth of burning, the altar of God].

And I will encamp against you round about; and I will hem you in with siege works and I will set up fortifications against you.

And you shall be laid low [Jerusalem], speaking from beneath the ground, and your speech shall come humbly from the dust. And your voice shall be like that of a ghost [produced by a medium] coming from the earth, and your speech shall whisper and squeak as it chatters from the dust.

Brought low, you will speak from the ground;
    your speech will mumble(F) out of the dust.(G)
Your voice will come ghostlike(H) from the earth;
    out of the dust your speech will whisper.(I)
