Isaiah 29:5-8
New International Version
5 But your many enemies will become like fine dust,(A)
the ruthless(B) hordes like blown chaff.(C)
Suddenly,(D) in an instant,
6 the Lord Almighty will come(E)
with thunder(F) and earthquake(G) and great noise,
with windstorm and tempest(H) and flames of a devouring fire.(I)
7 Then the hordes of all the nations(J) that fight against Ariel,(K)
that attack her and her fortress and besiege her,
will be as it is with a dream,(L)
with a vision in the night—
8 as when a hungry person dreams of eating,
but awakens(M) hungry still;
as when a thirsty person dreams of drinking,
but awakens faint and thirsty still.(N)
So will it be with the hordes of all the nations
that fight against Mount Zion.(O)
Isaiah 29:5-8
Holman Christian Standard Bible
5 Your many foes[a] will be like fine dust,(A)
and many of the ruthless, like blowing chaff.
Then suddenly, in an instant,(B)
6 you will be visited by the Lord of Hosts
with thunder, earthquake, and loud noise,
storm, tempest, and a flame of consuming fire.(C)
7 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)
8 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.
