Isaiah 21:2-4
Lexham English Bible

2 A hard revelation is told to me;

the treacherous deals treacherously,
    and the destroyer destroys.
Go up, Elam;
    lay siege, Media!

I put an end to all of her sighing.

3 Therefore my loins are filled with anguish;
    pangs have seized me, like the pangs of a woman giving birth.
I am too bent to hear,[a]
    I am too dismayed to see.[b]
4 My mind[c] staggers; fear terrifies me;
    the twilight I desired[d] brought[e] me fear.
