Isaiah 21:2-4
Contemporary English Version

2 What a horrible vision
    was shown to me—
a vision of betrayal
    and destruction.
Tell Elam and Media[a]
to surround and attack
    the Babylonians.
The Lord has sworn to end
    the suffering they caused.

3 I'm in terrible pain
    like a woman giving birth.
I'm shocked and hurt so much
    that I can't hear or see.
4 My head spins; I'm horrified!
Early evening, my favorite time,
    has become a nightmare.
