And it shall be as when the hungry person dreams—look, he is eating!
    And he wakes up and his inner self is empty.
Or[a] as when the thirsty person dreams—look, he is drinking!
    And he wakes up and look, he is faint,
    and his inner self is longing for water.
So shall be the multitude of all the nations who fight against Mount Zion.
Be astonished and be amazed!
    Blind yourselves and be blinded!
They are drunk but[b] not from wine;
    they stagger but[c] not from strong drink.
10 For Yahweh has poured out upon you a spirit of deep sleep,
    and he has shut your eyes, the prophets,
    and he has covered your heads, the seers.
