Isaiah 29:3-9

3And I will encampH2583 against thee round about, and will lay siege against thee with posted troops, and I will raiseH6965 siege works against thee. 4And thou shalt beH1961 brought downH7817, and shalt speakH1696 out of the groundH776, and thy speech shall beH1961 lowH8213 out of the dustH6083; and thy voiceH6963 shall beH1961 as of one that hath a familiar spirit, out of the groundH776, and thy speech shall whisperH6850 out of the dustH6083.

5But the multitudeH1995 of thy foes shall beH1961 like small dustH80, and the multitudeH1995 of the terrible onesH6184 as chaffH4671 that passeth awayH5674: yea, it shall beH1961 in an instantH6621 suddenlyH6597. 6She shall be visitedH6485 of Jehovah of hostsH6635 with thunderH6963, and with earthquakeH7494, and greatH1419 noise, with whirlwind and tempestH5591, and the flameH3851 of a devouringH398 fireH784. 7And the multitudeH1995 of all the nationsH1471 that fight against ArielH740, even all that fight against her and her stronghold, and that distressH6693 her, shall beH1961 as a dreamH2472, a visionH2377 of the nightH3915. 8And it shall beH1961 as when a hungryH7457 man dreameth, and, behold, he eateth; but he awaketh, and his soulH5315 is emptyH7386: or as when a thirstyH6771 man dreameth, and, behold, he drinketh; but he awaketh, and, behold, he is faint, and his soulH5315 hath appetiteH5315: soH3651 shall the multitudeH1995 of all the nationsH1471 beH1961, that fight against mount ZionH6726.

9Tarry ye and wonder; take your pleasure and be blindH8173: they are drunken, but not with wineH3196; they staggerH5128, but not with strongH7941 drinkH7941.
