But I will bring distress upon Ariel,
    and there will be mourning and moaning.
You shall be to me like Ariel:(A)
    I will encamp like David against you;
I will circle you with outposts
    and set up siege works against you.(B)
You shall speak from beneath the earth,
    and from the dust below, your words shall come.
Your voice shall be that of a ghost from the earth,
    and your words shall whisper from the dust.(C)

    she will mourn and lament,(B)
    she will be to me like an altar hearth.[a](C)
I will encamp against you on all sides;
    I will encircle(D) you with towers
    and set up my siege works(E) against you.
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)
