Isaiah 29:7-9

New International Reader's Version

⁷ Armies from all the nations will fight against Ariel.
    They will attack it and its fort.
    They’ll surround it completely.
But suddenly those armies will disappear like a dream.
    They will vanish like a vision in the night.
⁸ It will be as when a hungry person dreams of eating,
    but wakes up still hungry.
It will be as when a thirsty person dreams of drinking,
    but wakes up weak and still thirsty.
In the same way, the armies from all the nations
    that fight against Mount Zion will disappear.

⁹ People of Jerusalem, be shocked and amazed.
    Make yourselves blind so you can’t see anything.
Get drunk, but not from wine.
    Be unsteady on your feet, but not because of beer.
