Isaiah 29:8 in Context — Isaiah 29
6 Pelo SENHOR dos exércitos serás visitada com trovões, terremotos, e grande ruído; com impetuoso vento, tempestade, e labareda de fogo consumidor.
7 E tal como um sonho ou visão noturna, [assim] será a multidão de todas as nações que batalharão contra Ariel, [assim] também como todos os que lutaram contra ela e seus muros, e a oprimiram.
8 Será também como um faminto que sonha estar comendo, porém, ao acordar, sua alma está vazia; ou como o sedento que sonha estar bebendo, porém, ao acordar, eis que está fraco e com sede na alma; assim será toda a multidão de nações que batalharem contra o monte de Sião.
9 Parai, e maravilhai-vos; cegai-vos, e sede cegos! Estão bêbados, mas não de vinho; cambaleiam, mas não por bebida alcoólica.
10 Pois o SENHOR derramou sobre vós espírito de sono profundo; ele fechou vossos olhos (os profetas), e cobriu vossos cabeças (os videntes).
