1. Oy , Ariel, Ariel! City where David camped. Year to year again—festivals in a cycle.
2. But I will distress Ariel. There will be lamenting and moaning— then will she be like Ariel to Me?
3. I will encamp against you all around, I will set up siege-works against you and will raise up ramps against you.
4. You will be brought low, you will speak from the ground. From the dust where you are prostrate your speech will come. Your voice will be like a ghost out of the ground, and your speech will whisper out of the dust.
5. Yet the multitude of your foes will become like fine dust, and the multitude of the terrifying like chaff that passes away. It will happen in an instant, suddenly.
6. You will be visited by Adonai-Tzva’ot with thunder, earthquake, huge noise, whirlwind and storm-wind, and the flame of a consuming fire.
7. It will be like a dream, a night vision: the multitude of all the nations warring against Ariel, yes, all warring against her, the ramparts around her and her besiegers.
