Isaiah 21:2-4

New Century Version

Elam, attack the people!
    Media, surround the city and attack it!
    I will bring an end to the pain the city causes.

³ I saw those terrible things, and now I am in pain;
    my pains are like the pains of giving birth.
What I hear makes me very afraid;
    what I see causes me to shake with fear.
⁴ I am worried,
    and I am shaking with fear.
My pleasant evening
    has become a night of fear.
