as when a hungry man dreams—
    he eats, but wakes up still hungry;
or when a thirsty man dreams—
    he drinks, but wakes up faint,
        with his thirst unquenched.

    that fight against Mount Zion.

    Be astonished!
Act blind,
    and be blind!
Be drunk,[a] but not from[b] wine;
    stagger around,[c] but not from strong drink.

    a spirit of deep sleep—
he has closed your eyes, you prophets,
    he has covered your heads, you seers!”
