Isaiah 29:7-9

New American Standard Bible

⁷And the ^(A)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 ^(B)vision of the night.
⁸It 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.
^(C)So will the multitude of all the nations be
Who wage war against Mount Zion.

⁹^(D)Be delayed and horrified,
Blind yourselves and be blind;
They ^(E)become drunk, but not with wine,
They stagger, but not with intoxicating drink.

⁷Then the hordes of all the nations^(A) that fight against Ariel,^(B)
    that attack her and her fortress and besiege her,
will be as it is with a dream,^(C)
    with a vision in the night—
⁸as when a hungry person dreams of eating,
    but awakens^(D) hungry still;
as when a thirsty person dreams of drinking,
    but awakens faint and thirsty still.^(E)
So will it be with the hordes of all the nations
    that fight against Mount Zion.^(F)
