Isaiah 29:1-4

1Ariel is as good as dead – Ariel, the town David besieged! Keep observing your annual rituals, celebrate your festivals on schedule.

2I will threaten Ariel, and she will mourn intensely and become like an altar hearth before me.

3I will lay siege to you on all sides; I will besiege you with troops; I will raise siege works against you.

4You will fall; while lying on the ground you will speak; from the dust where you lie, your words will be heard. Your voice will sound like a spirit speaking from the underworld; from the dust you will chirp as if muttering an incantation.
