Isaiah 29:7-8
New King James Version
7 (A)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 (B)as a dream of a night vision.
8 (C)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.”

Will [c]fill the breadth of Your land, O (B)Immanuel.[d]
