Isaiah 21:3-5

Lexham English Bible

³Therefore 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]
⁴My mind^[c] staggers; fear terrifies me;
    the twilight I desired^[d] brought^[e] me fear.
⁵Set out the table in order!
    Spread out the rugs!^[f]
    Eat! drink!
Rise up, commanders;
    smear^[g] the shield!
