And it will be as when a hungry man dreams—
And behold, he is eating;
But he awakens, and his soul is empty,
Or as when a thirsty man dreams—
And behold, he is drinking,
But he awakens, and behold, he is faint,
And his soul is not quenched.
(A)Thus the multitude of all the nations will be
Who wage war against Mount Zion.

(B)Astonish yourselves and be astonished,
Blind yourselves and be blind;
They (C)become drunk, but not with wine;
They stagger, but not with strong drink.
10 For Yahweh has poured over you a spirit of deep (D)sleep;
He has (E)shut your eyes, the prophets;
And He has covered your heads, the seers.
