Isaiah 21:3-5

International Children’s Bible

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.

⁵ They set the table.
    They spread the rugs.
    They eat and drink!
Leaders, stand up.
    Prepare the shields for battle!
