Isaiah 29:1-8

1Woe to you, O Ariel,1the city of Ariel where David camped!Year upon yearlet your festivals recur.2And I will constrain Ariel,and there will be mourning and lamentation;she will be like an altar hearth2 before Me.3I will camp in a circle around you;I will besiege you with towersand set up siege works against you.4You will be brought low,you will speak from the ground,and out of the dustyour words will be muffled.Your voice will be like a spirit from the ground;your speech will whisper out of the dust.
5But your many foes will be like fine dust,the multitude of the ruthless like blowing chaff.Then suddenly, in an instant,6you will be visited by the LORD of Hostswith thunder and earthquake and loud noise,with windstorm and tempest and consuming flame of fire.7All the many nationsgoing out to battle against Ariel—even all who war against her,laying siege and attacking her—will be like a dream,like a vision in the night,8as when a hungry man dreams he is eating,then awakens still hungry;as when a thirsty man dreams he is drinking,then awakens faint and parched.So will it be for all the many nationswho go to battle against Mount Zion.
