Isaiah 29:2-4
1599 Geneva Bible
2 But I will bring the altar into distress, and there shall be heaviness and sorrow, and it shall be unto me like [a]an altar.
3 And I will besiege thee as a circle, and fight against thee on a mount, and will cast up ramparts against thee.
4 So shalt thou be humbled, and shalt speak out of the [b]ground, and thy speech shall be as out of the dust: thy voice also shall be out of the ground like him that hath a spirit of divination, and thy talking shall whisper out of the dust.
