⁵ 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.
⁶ 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.
⁷ 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.
⁸ 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.
