New Living Translation

Isaiah 29:4-8 New Living Translation (NLT)

4. Then deep from the earth you will speak;from low in the dust your words will come.Your voice will whisper from the groundlike a ghost conjured up from the grave.

5. “But suddenly, your ruthless enemies will be crushedlike the finest of dust.Your many attackers will be driven awaylike chaff before the wind.Suddenly, in an instant,

6. I, the lord of Heaven’s Armies, will act for youwith thunder and earthquake and great noise,with whirlwind and storm and consuming fire.

7. All the nations fighting against Jerusalemwill vanish like a dream!Those who are attacking her wallswill vanish like a vision in the night.

8. A hungry person dreams of eatingbut wakes up still hungry.A thirsty person dreams of drinkingbut is still faint from thirst when morning comes.So it will be with your enemies,with those who attack Mount Zion.”
