Isaiah 29:5-8

5But the multitude of your 1enemies will become like fine 2dust, And the multitude of the 3ruthless ones like the chaff which 4blows away; And it will happen 5instantly, suddenly.6From the Lord of armies you will be 6punished with 7thunder and earthquake and loud noise, With whirlwind and tempest and the flame of a consuming fire.7And the 8multitude of all the nations who wage war against 9Ariel, Even all who wage war against her and her stronghold, and who distress her, Will be like a dream, a 10vision of the night.8It will be as when a hungry person dreams-- And behold, he is eating; But when he awakens, his 11hunger 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 12thirst is not quenched. 13So will the multitude of all the nations be Who wage war against Mount Zion.
