2 but I will oppress Ariel.There will be mourning and lamentation;she will be like an Ariel to me.
3 I will surround you like a wall,and I will lay a siege against you with assault towers,and I will raise up siegeworks against you.
4 You will be brought down;from the ground you will speak;from low in the dust your speech will come.Your voice will be like a ghost’s from the earth;from the dust your words will whisper.
5 But your many enemies will be like fine dust,the terrible horde like passing chaff.Suddenly, in an instant,
6 the Lord of heavenly forces will come to you with thunder, earthquake, and a mighty voice,with whirlwind, tempest, and flames of devouring fire.
7 The horde of nations fighting against Ariel,and all who make war on her and her fortress and besiege her,will be like a dream, a vision of the night.
8 It will be like when a hungry person dreams of eatingbut wakes up and the mouth is empty.Or when a thirsty person dreams of drinkingbut wakes up and has a dry throat.So will it be for all the horde of nationswho fight against Mount Zion.
