6 aYou will be punished by the Lord of hosts
With thunder and bearthquake and great noise,
With storm and tempest
And the flame of devouring fire.
With thunder and bearthquake and great noise,
With storm and tempest
And the flame of devouring fire.
7 aThe multitude of all the nations who fight against1 Ariel,
Even all who fight against her and her fortress,
And distress her,
Shall be bas a dream of a night vision.
Even all who fight against her and her fortress,
And distress her,
Shall be bas a dream of a night vision.
8 aIt 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.”
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!
aThey are drunk, bbut not with wine;
They stagger, but not with intoxicating drink.
Blind yourselves and be blind!
aThey are drunk, bbut not with wine;
They stagger, but not with intoxicating drink.
10 For athe Lord has poured out on you
The spirit of deep sleep,
And has bclosed your eyes, namely, the prophets;
And He has covered your heads, namely, cthe seers.
