Isaiah 29:3-9

3I will 1camp against you 2encircling you, And I will set siegeworks against you, And I will raise up battle towers against you.4Then you will 3be brought low; From the earth you will speak, And from the dust where you are prostrate Your words will come. Your voice will also be like that of a 4spirit from the ground, And your speech will whisper from the dust.

5But the multitude of your 5enemies will become like fine 6dust, And the multitude of the 7ruthless ones like the chaff which 8blows away; And it will happen 9instantly, suddenly.6From the Lord of hosts you will be 10punished with 11thunder and earthquake and loud noise, With whirlwind and tempest and the flame of a consuming fire.7And the 12multitude of all the nations who wage war against 13Ariel, Even all who wage war against her and her stronghold, and who distress her, Will be like a dream, a 14vision of the night.8It will be as when a hungry man dreams-- And behold, he is eating; But when he awakens, his 15hunger is not satisfied, Or as when a thirsty man dreams-- And behold, he is drinking, But when he awakens, behold, he is faint And his 16thirst is not quenched. 17Thus the multitude of all the nations will be Who wage war against Mount Zion.

918Be delayed and wait, Blind yourselves and be blind; They 19become drunk, but not with wine, They stagger, but not with strong drink.
