And (A)the multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel,
    all that fight against her and her stronghold and distress her,
    shall be (B)like a dream, a vision of the night.
(C)As when a hungry man dreams, and behold, he is eating,
    and awakes with his hunger not satisfied,
or as when a thirsty man dreams, and behold, he is drinking,
    and awakes faint, with his thirst not quenched,
so shall the multitude of all the nations be
    that fight against Mount Zion.

Astonish yourselves[a] and be astonished;
    blind yourselves and be blind!
Be drunk,[b] but not with wine;
    (D)stagger,[c] but not with strong drink!
