Isaiah 21:2-4

Amplified Bible

² 
A harsh vision has been shown to me;
The treacherous one deals treacherously, and the destroyer destroys.
Go up, Elam! Lay siege, Media!
All the groaning [caused by Babylon’s ruthless oppressions] I [the Lord] have brought to an end.^(A)
3 
Therefore [continues Isaiah] my loins are filled with anguish;
Pains have seized me like the pains of a woman in childbirth;
I am so bent and bewildered that I cannot hear, I am so terrified that I cannot see.
⁴ 
My mind reels, horror overwhelms me;
The twilight I longed for has been ^[a]turned into fear and trembling for me.^(B)
