Isaiah 29:8Isa.29.8

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.

Comme celui qui a faim rêve qu'il mange, Puis s'éveille, l'estomac vide, Et comme celui qui a soif rêve qu'il boit, Puis s'éveille, épuisé et languissant; Ainsi en sera-t-il de la multitude des nations Qui viendront attaquer la montagne de Sion.
