# Woe to Ariel

"How terrible it will be for the people of Ariel"

# Ariel

This is another name for Jerusalem, and it means "altar." If possible translate this as "Ariel" rather than "Jerusalem" since the meaning of "Ariel" is important in 29:2.

# David encamped

"David dwelled" or "David lived"

# Add year to year; let the festivals come round

Yahweh tells the people to keep celebrating their festivals where they sacrifice to him, but he knows it will not prevent him from destroying them.
