Hebrew Bible, Isaias, Ottley, Cambridge, 1904

7 And as a dream, a vision of the night, shall the multitude of all the nations be, that are arrayed against Ariel, even all that are arrayed against her and her fortress, and distress her.

8 And it shall be as when a hungry man dreameth, and behold, he eateth ; and he awaketh, and his SOul is empty; and as a thirsty man dreameth, and behold, he drinketh; and he awaketh, and behold, he is faint, and his soul craveth; so shall all the multitude of the nations be, that are arrayed against mount Zion.

9 Astonish yourselves, and be astonished; blind yourselves, and be blind: they are drunken, and not with wine; they reel, and not with strong drink.

10 For the LORD hath poured out upon you a spirit of deep sleep, and bath closed your eyes, the prophets; and your heads, the seers, hath he covered.
