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)
Isaiah 29:5-8
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
5 But the multitude of your arrogant ones[a] shall be like fine dust
and the multitude of tyrants like flying chaff.
And in an instant, suddenly,(A)
6 you will be visited by the Lord of hosts
with thunder and earthquake and great noise,
with whirlwind and tempest and the flame of a devouring fire.(B)
7 And the multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel,
all that fight against her and her stronghold and who distress her,
shall be like a dream, a vision of the night.(C)
8 Just as when a hungry person dreams of eating
and wakes up still hungry
or a thirsty person dreams of drinking
and wakes up faint, still thirsty,
so shall the multitude of all the nations be
that fight against Mount Zion.(D)
