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.
