But the horde of invaders will be like fine dust,
the horde of tyrants[a] like chaff that is blown away.
It will happen suddenly, in a flash.

It will be like a dream, a night vision.
There will be a horde from all the nations that fight against Ariel,
those who attack her and her stronghold and besiege her.
