Isaiah 29:7-9
New King James Version
7 (A)The multitude of all the nations who fight against [a]Ariel,
Even all who fight against her and her fortress,
And distress her,
Shall be (B)as a dream of a night vision.
8 (C)It shall even be as when a hungry man dreams,
And look—he eats;
But he awakes, and his soul is still empty;
Or as when a thirsty man dreams,
And look—he drinks;
But he awakes, and indeed he is faint,
And his soul still craves:
So the multitude of all the nations shall be,
Who fight against Mount Zion.”
The Blindness of Disobedience
9 Pause and wonder!
Blind yourselves and be blind!
(D)They are drunk, (E)but not with wine;
They stagger, but not with intoxicating drink.

Isaiah 29:7-9
New International Version
7 Then the hordes of all the nations(A) that fight against Ariel,(B)
that attack her and her fortress and besiege her,
will be as it is with a dream,(C)
with a vision in the night—
8 as when a hungry person dreams of eating,
but awakens(D) hungry still;
as when a thirsty person dreams of drinking,
but awakens faint and thirsty still.(E)
So will it be with the hordes of all the nations
that fight against Mount Zion.(F)
