New King James Version

Isaiah 29:1-6 New King James Version (NKJV)

1. “Woe to Ariel, to Ariel, the city where David dwelt!Add year to year;Let feasts come around.

2. Yet I will distress Ariel;There shall be heaviness and sorrow,And it shall be to Me as Ariel.

3. I will encamp against you all around,I will lay siege against you with a mound,And I will raise siegeworks against you.

4. You shall be brought down,You shall speak out of the ground;Your speech shall be low, out of the dust;Your voice shall be like a medium’s, out of the ground;And your speech shall whisper out of the dust.

5. “Moreover the multitude of your foesShall be like fine dust,And the multitude of the terrible onesLike chaff that passes away;Yes, it shall be in an instant, suddenly.

6. You will be punished by the Lord of hostsWith thunder and earthquake and great noise,With storm and tempestAnd the flame of devouring fire.
