6 I, the Lord All-Powerful,will come to your rescuewith a thundering earthquakeand a fiery whirlwind.
7 Every brutal nationthat attacks Jerusalemand makes it sufferwill disappear like a dreamwhen night is over.
8 Those nations that attackMount Zionwill suffer from hungerand thirst.They will dream of food and drinkbut wake up weary and hungryand thirsty as ever.
9 Be shocked and stunned,you prophets!Refuse to see.Get drunk and stagger,but not from wine.
10 The Lord has made you drowsy;he put you into a deep sleepand covered your head.
11 Now his message is like a sealed letter to you. Some of you say, “We can't read it, because it's sealed.”
12 Others say, “We can't read it, because we don't know how to read.”
