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)

English Standard Version
5 But the multitude of your foreign foes shall be like (A)small dust,
and the multitude of the ruthless like passing chaff.
(B)And in an instant, suddenly,
6 (C)you will be visited by the Lord of hosts
with thunder and with earthquake and great noise,
with whirlwind and tempest, and the flame of a devouring fire.
7 And (D)the multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel,
all that fight against her and her stronghold and distress her,
shall be (E)like a dream, a vision of the night.
8 (F)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.
