2 yet will I distress Ariel:
there shall be mourning and sorrow
when she becomes as my altar hearth.
3 I will encamp against you round about,
and beleaguer you with assault posts,
and erect siege installations against you.
4 And when you have been laid low,
you will speak from the ground,
your words uttering out of the dust:
your voice from the ground
shall be like that of a medium;
your sayings shall whisper out of the dust.
5 Suddenly, in an instant,
your crowds of evildoers shall become as fine dust,
your violent mobs like flying chaff.
6 She shall be chastened by Jehovah of Hosts
with thunderous quakings,
resounding booms, tempestuous blasts
and conflagrations of devouring flame.
(Isaiah 29)
