8It shall even be 1 as when a hungry man hath a chalom, and, hinei, he eateth; 1 but he awaketh, and his nefesh is empty; 1 or as when a thirsty man hath a chalom, and, hinei, he drinketh; 1 but he awaketh, and, hinei, he is faint, 1 and his nefesh still thirsts; 1 so shall the multitude of kol HaGoyim be, 1 that fight against Har Tziyon. 1
