Woe to you, Ariel, Ariel, the city where David settled! Add year to year and let your cycle of festivals go on.

Jerusalem, how terrible it will be for you! Ariel, you are the city where David made his home. The years will come and go. Keep on celebrating your regular feasts.

Ah, Ariel, Ariel, the city where David encamped! Add year to year; let the feasts run their round.

“ What sorrow awaits Ariel, the City of David. Year after year you celebrate your feasts.

Woe to Ariel, Ariel, the city where David camped! Continue year after year; let the festivals recur.

Woe, Ariel, Ariel the city where David once camped! Add year to year, keep your feasts on schedule.

“ Woe to Ariel, to Ariel, the city where David dwelt! Add year to year; Let feasts come around.

Ho Ariel, Ariel, the city where David encamped! add ye year to year; let the feasts come round:

Woe to Ariel, to Ariel, the city[ where] David dwelt! add ye year to year; let them kill sacrifices.

Ariel is as good as dead– Ariel, the town David besieged! Keep observing your annual rituals, celebrate your festivals on schedule.

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

David took up residence in the stronghold, which he named the city of David. He built it up all the way around from the supporting terraces inward.

Come to Bethel and rebel; rebel even more at Gilgal! Bring your sacrifices every morning, your tenths every three days.Offer leavened bread as a thank offering, and loudly proclaim your freewill offerings, for that is what you Israelites love to do! This is the Lord’s declaration.

They will not pour out their wine offerings to the Lord, and their sacrifices will not please Him. Their food will be like the bread of mourners; all who eat it become defiled. For their bread will be for their appetites alone; it will not enter the house of the Lord.

The altar hearth is seven feet high, and four horns project upward from the hearth.The hearth is square, 21 feet long by 21 feet wide.

One slaughters an ox, one kills a man; one sacrifices a lamb, one breaks a dog’s neck; one offers a grain offering, one offers pig’s blood; one offers incense, one praises an idol— all these have chosen their ways and delight in their detestable practices.

What should I bring before the Lord when I come to bow before God on high? Should I come before Him with burnt offerings, with year-old calves?Would the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams or with ten thousand streams of oil? Should I give my firstborn for my transgression, the child of my body for my own sin?

Though they offer sacrificial gifts and eat the flesh, the Lord does not accept them. Now He will remember their guilt and punish their sins; they will return to Egypt.

They go with their flocks and herds to seek the Lord but do not find Him; He has withdrawn from them.

Since the law has only a shadow of the good things to come, and not the actual form of those realities, it can never perfect the worshipers by the same sacrifices they continually offer year after year.

“ What are all your sacrifices to Me?” asks the Lord.“ I have had enough of burnt offerings and rams and the fat of well-fed cattle; I have no desire for the blood of bulls, lambs, or male goats.When you come to appear before Me, who requires this from you— this trampling of My courts?Stop bringing useless offerings. Your incense is detestable to Me. New Moons and Sabbaths, and the calling of solemn assemblies— I cannot stand iniquity with a festival.I hate your New Moons and prescribed festivals. They have become a burden to Me; I am tired of putting up with them.When you lift up your hands in prayer, I will refuse to look at you; even if you offer countless prayers, I will not listen. Your hands are covered with blood.

On that day the Lord God of Hosts called for weeping, for wailing, for shaven heads, and for the wearing of sackcloth.But look: joy and gladness, butchering of cattle, slaughtering of sheep, eating of meat, and drinking of wine—“ Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die!”

This is what the Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel, says:“ Add your burnt offerings to your other sacrifices, and eat the meat yourselves,

His rock will pass away because of fear, and his officers will be afraid because of the signal flag. This is the Lord’s declaration— whose fire is in Zion and whose furnace is in Jerusalem.
