Isaiah 21:1-3
New American Standard Bible 1995
God Commands That Babylon Be Taken
21 The [a](A)oracle concerning the [b](B)wilderness of the sea.
As (C)windstorms in the [c]Negev sweep on,
It comes from the wilderness, from a terrifying land.
2 A (D)harsh vision has been shown to me;
The (E)treacherous one still deals treacherously, and the destroyer still destroys.
Go up, (F)Elam, lay siege, Media;
I have made an end of all [d]the groaning she has caused.
3 For this reason my (G)loins are full of anguish;
Pains have seized me like the pains of a (H)woman in labor.
I am so bewildered I cannot hear, so terrified I cannot see.
