Isaiah 29:7-9
7 And the multitude of all the nations who wage war against Ariel , Even all who wage war against her and her stronghold , and who distress her, Will be like a dream , a vision of the night . 8 It will be as when a hungry man dreams - And behold , he is eating ; But when he awakens , his hunger is not satisfied , Or as when a thirsty man dreams - And behold , he is drinking , But when he awakens , behold , he is faint And his thirst is not quenched . Thus the multitude of all the nations will be Who wage war against Mount Zion .
The Blindness and Hypocrisy of Israel
9 Be delayed and wait , Blind yourselves and be blind ; They become drunk , but not with wine , They stagger , but not with strong drink .
