Isaiah 29:2-4
New American Standard Bible 1995
2 I will bring distress to Ariel,
And she will be a city of lamenting and (A)mourning;
And she will be like an Ariel to me.
3 I will (B)camp against you [a]encircling you,
And I will set siegeworks against you,
And I will raise up battle towers against you.
4 Then you will (C)be brought low;
From the earth you will speak,
And from the dust where you are prostrate
Your words will come.
Your voice will also be like that of a [b]spirit from the ground,
And your speech will whisper from the dust.
