Isaiah 29:2

Verse 2 of 24. The 29th of 66 chapters in Isaiah, in The Major Prophets.

1Woe to Ariel! Ariel, the city where David encamped! Add year to year; let the feasts come around;

2then I will distress Ariel, and there will be mourning and lamentation. She shall be to me as an altar hearth.

3I will encamp against you all around you, and will lay siege against you with posted troops. I will raise siege works against you.

4You will be brought down, and will speak out of the ground. Your speech will mumble out of the dust. Your voice will be as of one who has a familiar spirit, out of the ground, and your speech will whisper out of the dust.

5But the multitude of your foes will be like fine dust, and the multitude of the ruthless ones like chaff that blows away. Yes, it will be in an instant, suddenly.

6She will be visited by the LORD of Armies with thunder, with earthquake, with great noise, with whirlwind and storm, and with the flame of a devouring fire.
