Isaiah 29:2-4
The Voice
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.
Isaiah 29:2-4
New International Version
Isaiah 29:2-4
New International Version
2 Yet I will besiege Ariel;(A)
she will mourn and lament,(B)
she will be to me like an altar hearth.[a](C)
3 I will encamp against you on all sides;
I will encircle(D) you with towers
and set up my siege works(E) against you.
4 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)
