God's Word Translation

Isaiah 29:1-5 God's Word Translation (GW)

1. How horrible it will be for you Ariel, Ariel,the city where David camped.Let year after year go by.Let your annual festivals go on.

2. I will torment Ariel,and the city will be filled with people grieving and mourning.The city will become like Ariel.

3. I will set up war camps all around you.I will blockade you with towers.I will put up mounds of dirt around you.

4. When you have fallen, you will speak as you lie on the ground.Your words will be muffled by the dust.Your voice will come out of the ground like that of a ghost.Your words will be whispered from the dust.

5. Your many enemies will be like fine dust.Your many foes will be like husks blown by the wind.All of this will happen suddenly, unexpectedly.
