1 How horrible it will be for you Ariel, Ariel,the city where David camped.Let year after year go by.Let your annual festivals go on.
2 I will torment Ariel,and the city will be filled with people grieving and mourning.The city will become like Ariel.
3 I will set up war camps all around you.I will blockade you with towers.I will put up mounds of dirt around you.
4 When you have fallen, you will speak as you lie on the ground.Your words will be muffled by the dust.Your voice will come out of the ground like that of a ghost.Your words will be whispered from the dust.
5 Your many enemies will be like fine dust.Your many foes will be like husks blown by the wind.All of this will happen suddenly, unexpectedly.
6 The Lord of Armies will punish youwith thunder, earthquakes, and loud noises,with windstorms, rainstorms, and fire storms.
7 The armies from all the nations will go to war against Ariel.They will go to war against it, blockade it, and torment it.All of this will be like a dream, like a vision in the night.
