Isaiah 29:1-5

English Standard Version

29 Ah, Ariel, Ariel,
    the city ^(A)where David encamped!
Add year to year;
    let the feasts run their round.
² Yet I will distress Ariel,
    and there shall be moaning and lamentation,
    and she shall be to me like an Ariel.^[a]
3 (B)And I will encamp against you all around,
    and will besiege you ^(C)with towers
    and I will raise siegeworks against you.
^4 (D)And you will be brought low; from the earth you shall speak,
    and from the dust your speech will be bowed down;
your voice shall come from the ground like ^(E)the voice of a ghost,
    and from the dust your speech shall whisper.
