Isaiah 21:3-5

Christian Standard Bible

³ Therefore I am^[a] filled with anguish.
Pain grips me, like the pain of a woman in labor.^(A)
I am too perplexed to hear,
too dismayed to see.
⁴ My heart staggers;
horror terrifies me.
He has turned my last glimmer of hope^[b]
into sheer terror.^(B)
5 Prepare a table,^(C) and spread out a carpet!
Eat and drink!
Rise up, you princes, and oil the shields!
