It shall even be as when an
hungry man
dreameth, and, behold, he
eateth; but he
awaketh, and his
soul is
empty: or as
when a thirsty
man dreameth, and, behold, he
drinketh; but he
awaketh, and, behold, he is
faint, and his
soul hath
appetite: so shall the
multitude of all the
nations be, that
fight against
mount Zion.

And the
vision of all is become unto you as the

deliver to one that is
learned,
saying,
Read this, I pray thee: and he

cannot; for it is

Wherefore the
Lord said,
Forasmuch as this
people draw
near me with their
mouth, and with their
lips do
honour me, but have
removed their
heart far from me, and their
fear toward me is
taught by the
precept of
men:

Therefore, behold, I will
proceed to do a marvellous
work among this

work and a

wise men shall
perish, and the
understanding of their
prudent men shall be
hid.

Surely your turning of things upside
