Isaiah 29:5-8
New American Standard Bible
5 But the multitude of your [a]enemies will become like fine (A)dust,
And the multitude of the (B)ruthless ones like the chaff which [b]blows away;
And it will happen (C)instantly, suddenly.
6 From the Lord of armies you will be (D)punished with (E)thunder and earthquake and loud noise,
With whirlwind and tempest and the flame of a consuming fire.
7 And the (F)multitude of all the nations who wage war against [c]Ariel,
Even all who wage war against her and her stronghold, and who distress her,
Will be like a dream, a (G)vision of the night.
8 It will be as when a hungry person dreams—
And behold, he is eating;
But when he awakens, his [d]hunger is not satisfied,
Or as when a thirsty person dreams—
And behold, he is drinking,
But when he awakens, behold, he is faint
And his [e]thirst is not quenched.
(H)So will the multitude of all the nations be
Who wage war against Mount Zion.

Isaiah 29:5-8
New International Version
5 But your many enemies will become like fine dust,(A)
the ruthless(B) hordes like blown chaff.(C)
Suddenly,(D) in an instant,
6 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)
7 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—
8 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)
