1. Ah! Ariel, Ariel,city where David encamped!Let year follow year,and feast follow feast,
2. But I will bring distress upon Ariel,and there will be mourning and moaning.You shall be to me like Ariel:
3. I will encamp like David against you;I will circle you with outpostsand set up siege works against you.
4. You shall speak from beneath the earth,and from the dust below, your words shall come.Your voice shall be that of a ghost from the earth,and your words shall whisper from the dust.
