2 Yet I will besiege Ariel;

she will mourn and lament,

she will be to me like an altar hearth.

2 Yet I will distress Ariel,

And there shall be heaviness and sorrow:

And it shall be unto me as Ariel.

2 Yet I will bring disaster upon you,

and there will be much weeping and sorrow.

For Jerusalem will become what her name Ariel means—

an altar covered with blood.

2 Yet I will distress Ariel;

There shall be heaviness and sorrow,

And it shall be to Me as Ariel.

2 I will attack Jerusalem,

and that city will be filled with sadness and crying.

It will be like an altar to me.

2 then will I distress Ariel, and there shall be mourning and lamentation; and she shall be unto me as Ariel.

2 But I will distress Ariel, and there shall be sorrow and sadness; and it shall be unto me as an Ariel.

2 I will torment Ariel, 

and the city will be filled with people grieving and mourning. 

The city will become like Ariel. 

2 I will oppress Ariel,

and there will be mourning and crying,

and she will be to Me like an Ariel.

2 Yet I will distress Ariel,

and there shall be moaning and lamentation,

and Jerusalem shall be to me like an Ariel.

2 Yet I will inflict Ariel,

and there shall be mourning and lamentation,

and it shall be to me like an altar hearth.

2 The Lord says, “Ariel, I will surround you.

Jerusalem, I will get ready to attack you.

Your people will sob.

They will sing songs of sadness.

I will make you like the front of an altar

that is covered with blood.

2 I will bring distress to Ariel,

And she will be a city of lamenting and mourning;

And she will be like an Ariel to me.
