“moreover, the multitude of your foes shall be like fine dust and the multitude of the terrible ones shall be as chaff that passes away. Yes, it shall be in an instant. Suddenly”

7All the many nations going out to battle against Ariel— even all who war against her, laying siege and attacking her— will be like a dream, like a vision in the night,
“the multitude of all the nations who fight against Ariel, even all who fight against her in her fortresses and distress her shall be as a dream of a night vision.”
“And the multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel, even all that fight against her, and her fortifications that distress her, shall be as a dream of the night vision.”
8as when a hungry man dreams he is eating, then awakens still hungry; as when a thirsty man dreams he is drinking, then awakens faint and parched. So will it be for all the many nations who go to battle against Mount Zion.
“It shall even be as when a hungry man dreams. And look, he eats, but he awakes and his soul is still empty. Or when a thirsty man dreams and look, he drinks, but he wakes and indeed he is faint and his soul still craves. So the…”

11And the entire vision will be to you like the words sealed in a scroll. If it is handed to someone to read, he will say, "I cannot, because it is sealed."
“The whole vision has begun to you like the words of a book that is sealed. Which men deliver to one who is literate, saying, Read this, please. And he says, I cannot, for it is sealed.”
12Or if the scroll is handed to one unable to read, he will say, "I cannot read."
“Then the book will be given to the one who is illiterate, saying, please read this. And he will say, I cannot read.”
