Isaiah 29:7-9

English Standard Version

⁷And ^(A)the multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel,
    all that fight against her and her stronghold and distress her,
    shall be ^(B)like a dream, a vision of the night.
⁸^(C)As when a hungry man dreams, and behold, he is eating,
    and awakes with his hunger not satisfied,
or as when a thirsty man dreams, and behold, he is drinking,
    and awakes faint, with his thirst not quenched,
so shall the multitude of all the nations be
    that fight against Mount Zion.

⁹Astonish yourselves^[a] and be astonished;
blind yourselves and be blind!
Be drunk,^[b] but not with wine;
^(D)stagger,^[c] but not with strong drink!
