Isaiah 29:6-8

New International Reader's Version

⁶    the Lord who rules over all will come.
He will come with thunder, earthquakes and a lot of noise.
    He’ll bring windstorms and rainstorms with him.
    He’ll send a blazing fire that will burn up everything.

⁷Armies 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.
⁸It 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.
