Isaiah 29:8-10

International Children’s Bible

⁸They 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 nations
    who fight against Mount Zion.

⁹Be surprised and amazed.
    Blind yourselves so that you cannot see.
Become drunk, but not from wine.
    Trip and fall, but not from beer.
¹⁰The 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.)
