Isaiah 29:2
 Isaiah 29:2 
New International Version (© 2011)
Yet I will besiege Ariel; she will mourn and lament, she will be to me like an altar hearth.

King James Bible
Yet I will distress Ariel, and there shall be heaviness and sorrow: and it shall be unto me as Ariel.

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

Young's Literal Translation
And I have sent distress to Ariel, And it hath been lamentation and mourning, And it hath been to me as Ariel.

Isaiah 29:2 Additional Translations
Clarke's Commentary on the Bible

There shall be heaviness and sorrow "There shall be continual mourning and sorrow" - Instead of your present joy and festivity.

And it shall be unto me as Ariel "And it shall be unto me as the hearth of the great altar" - That is, it shall be the seat of the fire of God; which shall issue from thence to consume his enemies. See note on Isaiah 29:1 (note). Or, perhaps, all on flame; as it was when taken by the Chaldeans; or covered with carcasses and blood, as when taken by the Romans: an intimation of which more distant events, though not immediate subjects of the prophecy, may perhaps be given in this obscure passage.

Lowth, is the invasion of Sennacherib; the great distress of the Jews while it continued; their sudden and unexpected deliverance by God's immediate and miraculous interposition on their behalf; the subsequent prosperous state of the kingdom under Hezekiah; interspersed with severe reproofs and threats of punishment for their hypocrisy, stupidity, infidelity, their want of trust in God, and their vain reliance on the assistance of Egypt; and with promises of better times, both immediately to succeed, and to be expected in the future age.
