7. Then like a dream,a vision of the night,Shall be the horde of all the nationswho make war against Ariel:All the outposts, the siege works against it,all who distress it.
8. As when a hungry man dreams he is eatingand awakens with an empty stomach,Or when a thirsty man dreams he is drinkingand awakens faint, his throat parched,So shall the horde of all the nations be,who make war against Mount Zion.
9. Stupefy yourselves and stay stupid;blind yourselves and stay blind!You who are drunk, but not from wine,who stagger, but not from strong drink!
10. For the Lord has poured out on youa spirit of deep sleep.He has shut your eyes (the prophets)and covered your heads (the seers).
