Isaiah 29:5-8

Christian Standard Bible

⁵ Your many foes^[a] will be like fine dust,^(A)
and many of the ruthless, like blowing chaff.
Then suddenly, in an instant,^(B)
6 you will be punished by the Lord of Armies
with thunder, earthquake, and loud noise,
storm, tempest, and a flame of consuming fire.^(C)
7 All the many nations^(D)
going out to battle against Ariel—
all the attackers, the siege works against her,
and those who oppress her—
will then be like a dream, a vision in the night.^(E)
8 It will be like a hungry one who dreams he is eating,
then wakes and is still hungry;
and like a thirsty one who dreams he is drinking,
then wakes and is still thirsty, longing for water.
So it will be for all the many nations
who go to battle against Mount Zion.
