Alas for the city of Ariel, which David besieged. Gather your fruits year by year; eat, for you shall eat with Moab.

For I will grievously afflict Ariel; and her strength and her wealth shall be Mine.

And the wealth of all the nations together, as many as have fought against Ariel, and all they that war against Jerusalem, and all who are gathered against her, and they that distress her, shall be as one that dreams in sleep by night.

And you shall make the horns on the four corners; the horns shall be of the same piece, and you shall overlay them with brass.
