Isaiah 29:7-9
International Standard Version
Isaiah 29:7-9
International Standard Version
7 Then the hordes of all the nations that fight against Aruel,[a]
all that attack her and her fortification[b] and besiege her,
will become like a dream, with its visions in the night—
8 as when a hungry man dreams—
he eats, but wakes up still hungry;
or when a thirsty man dreams—
he drinks, but wakes up faint,
with his thirst unquenched.
So will it be with the hordes of all the nations
that fight against Mount Zion.
Blind to God’s Words
9 “Act stupid!
Be astonished!
Act blind,
and be blind!
Be drunk,[c] but not from[d] wine;
stagger around,[e] but not from strong drink.
