7. Then all the nations that fight against Jerusalemwill be like a dream.All the nations that surround and attack herwill be like a vision in the night.
8. They will be like a hungry man who dreams he is eating.But when he wakes up, he is still hungry.They will be like a thirsty man who dreams he is drinking.But when he wakes up, he is still weak and thirsty.It will be the same way with all the nationswho fight against Mount Zion.
9. Be surprised and amazed.Blind yourselves so that you cannot see.Become drunk, but not from wine.Trip and fall, but not from beer.
10. The Lord has made you go into a deep sleep.He has closed your eyes. (The prophets are your eyes.)He has covered your heads. (The seers are your heads.)
