1 Hoy (woe, doom) to Ariel [i.e., Yerushalayim], to Ariel, the city where Dovid dwelt! Add ye shanah to shanah; let chaggim (feasts) cycle around.
2 Yet I will distress Ariel, and there shall be heaviness and sorrow; and it shall be unto me as ariel (altar hearth) [see Ezekiel 43:15]).
3 And I will besiege thee all around, and will lay siege against thee with towers, and I will raise metzurot (siegeworks) against thee.
4 And thou shalt be brought low, and shalt speak me'eretz (out of the ground), and thy speech shall whisper out of the aphar, and thy voice shall be, like an ov (medium's that has a familiar spirit), out of the ground, and thy speech shall whisper out of the aphar.
5 Moreover the multitude of thy foes shall be like fine dust, and the multitude of the terrible ones shall be as motz (chaff) that in passing bloweth away; indeed, it shall be at an instant suddenly.
6 Thou shalt be visited [in punishment] by Hashem Tzva'os with ra'am (thunder), and with earthquake, and a kol gadol, with storm and tempest, and the flame of devouring eish.
7 And the multitude of kol HaGoyim that fight against Ariel, even all that fight against her and her metzadah, and that besiege her, shall be as a chalom (dream) of a chazon lailah (night vision).
