The Siege of Jerusalem

29 Ah, Ariel, Ariel,
    the city where David encamped!
Add year to year;
    let the festivals run their round.
Yet I will distress Ariel,
    and there shall be moaning and lamentation,
    and Jerusalem[a] shall be to me like an Ariel.[b]
And like David[c] I will encamp against you;
    I will besiege you with towers
    and raise siege-works against you.
