Isaiah 29:8
Young's Literal Translation
8
And it hath been, as when the hungry dreameth, And lo, he is eating, And he hath waked, and empty [is] his soul, And as when the thirsty dreameth, And lo, he is drinking, and he hath waked, And lo, he is weary, and his soul is longing, So is the multitude of all the nations Who are warring against mount Zion.

And it will be as when the hungry dreams and behold, he eats; and he wakes up and behold, his soul is empty. And as when the thirsty dreams and behold, he drinks; and he wakes up and behold, he is weary and his soul is craving. So will it be the multitude of all the nations that gather upon Mount Zion.
