5 But your many enemies will become like fine dust,the ruthless hordes like blown chaff.Suddenly, in an instant,
6 the Lord Almighty will comewith thunder and earthquake and great noise,with whirlwind and tempest and flames of a devouring fire.
7 Then the hordes of all the nations that fight against Ariel,that attack her and her fortress and besiege her,will be as it is with a dream,with a vision in the night –
8 as when a hungry person dreams of eating,but awakens hungry still;as when a thirsty person dreams of drinking,but awakens faint and thirsty still.So will it be with the hordes of all the nationsthat fight against Mount Zion.
9 Be stunned and amazed,blind yourselves and be sightless;be drunk, but not from wine,stagger, but not from beer.
10 The Lord has brought over you a deep sleep:he has sealed your eyes (the prophets);he has covered your heads (the seers).
11 For you this whole vision is nothing but words sealed in a scroll. And if you give the scroll to someone who can read, and say, ‘Read this, please,’ they will answer, ‘I can’t; it is sealed.’
