From the Lord of armies you will be (A)punished with (B)thunder and earthquake and loud noise,
With whirlwind and tempest and the flame of a consuming fire.
And the (C)multitude of all the nations who wage war against [a]Ariel,
Even all who wage war against her and her stronghold, and who distress her,
Will be like a dream, a (D)vision of the night.
It will be as when a hungry person dreams—
And behold, he is eating;
But when he awakens, his [b]hunger is not satisfied,
Or as when a thirsty person dreams—
And behold, he is drinking,
But when he awakens, behold, he is faint
And his [c]thirst is not quenched.
(E)So will the multitude of all the nations be
Who wage war against Mount Zion.
