It shall be as when a hungry man dreams, and, behold, he eats; but he awakes, and his soul is empty: or as when a thirsty man dreams, and, behold, he drinks; but he awakes, and, behold, he is faint, and his soul has appetite: so shall the multitude of all the nations be, that fight against Mount Zion.

King James Version Public Domain
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 it will be like when the hungry dreams, and behold, he is eating, but he awakens, and his soul empty. Or like when the thirsty dreams, and behold, he is drinking, but he awakens, and behold, faint and his soul is longing. Thus will be the multitude of all of the nations warring against Mount Zion. q1
