The Siege of Jerusalem 1Ah, Ariel, Ariel, the city where David encamped! Add year to year; let the festivals run their round.2Yet I will distress Ariel, and there shall be moaning and lamentation, and Jerusalem shall be to me like an Ariel.3And like David I will encamp against you; I will besiege you with towers and raise siegeworks against you.4Then deep from the earth you shall speak, from low in the dust your words shall come; your voice shall come from the ground like the voice of a ghost, and your speech shall whisper out of the dust.
