Isaiah 29:5-8
New King James Version
5 “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.
6 (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.
7 (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.
8 (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.”

Isaiah 29:5-8
Authorized (King James) Version
5 Moreover the multitude of thy strangers shall be like small dust,
and the multitude of the terrible ones shall be as chaff that passeth away:
yea, it shall be at an instant suddenly.
6 Thou shalt be visited of the Lord of hosts
with thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise,
with storm and tempest, and the flame of devouring fire.
7 And the multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel,
even all that fight against her and her munition, and that distress her,
shall be as a dream of a night vision.
8 It shall even be as when an hungry man dreameth, and, behold, he eateth;
but he awaketh, and his soul is empty:
or as when a thirsty man dreameth, and, behold, he drinketh;
but he awaketh, and, behold, he is faint, and his soul hath appetite:
so shall the multitude of all the nations be, that fight against mount Zion.
