1WoeH1945, 1ArielH740, 2ArielH740 the cityH7151 where DavidH1732 once 3campedH2583! AddH3254 yearH8141 to yearH8141, 45keepH5362 your feastsH2282 onH5362 scheduleH5362.2I will bringH6693 distressH6693 to ArielH740, And she will be a city of grievingH8386 and 6mourningH592; And she will be like an 7ArielH740 to me.3I will 8campH2583 againstH5921 you 9encirclingH1754 you, And I will setH6696 upH6696 siegeworksH4674 againstH5921 you, And I will raiseH6965 upH6965 battleH4694 towersH4694 againstH5921 you.4Then you will 10be broughtH8213 lowH8213; From the earthH776 you will speakH1696, And from the dustH6083 where you are prostrateH7817 Your wordsH565 will come. Your voiceH6963 will also be like that of a 11spiritH178 from the groundH776, And your speechH565 will whisperH6850 from the dustH6083.

5But the multitudeH1995 of your 12enemiesH2114 will becomeH1961 like fineH1851 13dustH80, And the multitudeH1995 of the 14ruthlessH6184 onesH6184 like the chaffH4671 which 15blowsH5674 awayH5674; And it will happenH1961 16instantlyH6621, suddenlyH6597.6From the LordH3068 of armiesH6635 you will be 17punishedH6485 with 18thunderH7482 and earthquakeH7494 and loudH1419 noiseH6963, With whirlwindH5492 and tempestH5591 and the flameH3851 of a consumingH398 fireH784.7And the 19multitudeH1995 of allH3605 the nationsH1471 who wageH6633 warH6633 againstH5921 20ArielH740, Even allH3605 who wageH6633 warH6633 against her and her strongholdH4685, and who distressH6693 her, Will be like a dreamH2472, a 21visionH2377 of the nightH3915.8It will be as whenH3512 a hungryH7457 personH7457 dreamsH2492-- And beholdH2009, he is eatingH398; But when he awakensH7019, his 22hungerH5315 is not satisfiedH7386, Or as whenH3512 a thirstyH6771 personH6771 dreamsH2492-- And beholdH2009, he is drinkingH8354, But when he awakensH7019, beholdH2009, he is faintH5889 And his 23thirstH5315 is not quenchedH8264. 24SoH3651 will the multitudeH1995 of allH3605 the nationsH1471 be Who wageH6633 warH6633 againstH5921 MountH2022 ZionH6726.
