“Moreover the multitude of your (A)foes
Shall be like fine dust,
And the multitude of the terrible ones
Like (B)chaff that passes away;
Yes, it shall be (C)in an instant, suddenly.
(D)You will be punished by the Lord of hosts
With thunder and (E)earthquake and great noise,
With storm and tempest
And the flame of devouring fire.
(F)The multitude of all the nations who fight against [a]Ariel,
Even all who fight against her and her fortress,
And distress her,
Shall be (G)as a dream of a night vision.
(H)It shall even be as when a hungry man dreams,
And look—he eats;
But he awakes, and his soul is still empty;
Or as when a thirsty man dreams,
And look—he drinks;
But he awakes, and indeed he is faint,
And his soul still craves:
So the multitude of all the nations shall be,
Who fight against Mount Zion.”

  1. Isaiah 29:7 Jerusalem

But your many enemies will become like fine dust,(A)
    the ruthless(B) hordes like blown chaff.(C)
Suddenly,(D) in an instant,
    the Lord Almighty will come(E)
with thunder(F) and earthquake(G) and great noise,
    with windstorm and tempest(H) and flames of a devouring fire.(I)
Then the hordes of all the nations(J) that fight against Ariel,(K)
    that attack her and her fortress and besiege her,
will be as it is with a dream,(L)
    with a vision in the night—
as when a hungry person dreams of eating,
    but awakens(M) hungry still;
as when a thirsty person dreams of drinking,
    but awakens faint and thirsty still.(N)
So will it be with the hordes of all the nations
    that fight against Mount Zion.(O)
