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!

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.

And He has covered your heads, namely, cthe seers.
11 The whole vision has become to you like the words of a1 book athat is sealed, which men deliver to one who is literate, saying, “Read this, please.” bAnd he says, “I cannot, for it is sealed.”
12 Then the book is delivered to one who1 is illiterate, saying, “Read this, please.” And he says, “I am not literate.”
