Isaiah29:8
8. It shall even be as when a 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 .
His appetite or desire (as the soul is taken, Psal. 41. 4. and 78. 18. and elsewhere) is unsatisfied. Or, his stomack or body (as the soul is used, Psal. 16. 10.) is empty.
No less unsatisfied and insatiable, shall the Enemies of the Iews be, with all the Cruelties which they have committed against you; and they shall be alwayes thirsting after more of your Blood, as if they had never tasted any of it.
