But the multitude of your [a]enemies will become like fine (A)dust,
And the multitude of the (B)ruthless ones like the chaff which [b]blows away;
And it will happen (C)instantly, suddenly.
From the Lord of armies you will be (D)punished with (E)thunder and earthquake and loud noise,
With whirlwind and tempest and the flame of a consuming fire.
And the (F)multitude of all the nations who wage war against [c]Ariel,
Even all who wage war against her and her stronghold, and who distress her,
Will be like a dream, a (G)vision of the night.
It will be as when a hungry person dreams—
And behold, he is eating;
But when he awakens, his [d]hunger is not satisfied,
Or as when a thirsty person dreams—
And behold, he is drinking,
But when he awakens, behold, he is faint
And his [e]thirst is not quenched.
(H)So will the multitude of all the nations be
Who wage war against Mount Zion.

Your many foes[a] will be like fine dust,(A)
and many of the ruthless, like blowing chaff.
Then suddenly, in an instant,(B)
you will be visited by the Lord of Hosts
with thunder, earthquake, and loud noise,
storm, tempest, and a flame of consuming fire.(C)
All the many nations(D)
going out to battle against Ariel—
all the attackers, the siege works against her,
and those who oppress her—
will then be like a dream, a vision in the night.(E)
It will be like a hungry one who dreams he is eating,
then wakes and is still hungry;
and like a thirsty one who dreams he is drinking,
then wakes and is still thirsty, longing for water.
So it will be for all the many nations
who go to battle against Mount Zion.
