Isaiah 29:5-8

International Standard Version

⁵ “But the hordes of your enemies^[a]
    will become like fine dust,
        and the hordes of tyrants like flying chaff.
Then suddenly, in an instant,
⁶ you will be visited by the Lord of the Heavenly Armies—
with thunder, an earthquake, and great noise,
    with a windstorm, a tempest,
        and flames from a devouring fire.
⁷ Then the hordes of all the nations that fight against Aruel,^[b]
    all that attack her and her fortification^[c] and besiege her,
        will become like a dream, with its visions in the night—
⁸ as when a hungry man dreams—
    he eats, but wakes up still hungry;
or when a thirsty man dreams—
    he drinks, but wakes up faint,
        with his thirst unquenched.
So will it be with the hordes of all the nations
    that fight against Mount Zion.
