New King James Version

Isaiah 29:1-7 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.

7. The multitude of all the nations who fight against Ariel,Even all who fight against her and her fortress,And distress her,Shall be as a dream of a night vision.
