I will bring distress to Ariel,
And she will be a city of grieving and (A)mourning;
And she will be like an [a]Ariel to me.
I will (B)camp against you [b]encircling you,
And I will set up siegeworks against you,
And I will raise up battle towers against you.
Then you will (C)be brought low;
From the earth you will speak,
And from the dust where you are prostrate
Your words will come.
Your voice will also be like that of a [c]spirit from the ground,
And your speech will whisper from the dust.
