Isaiah 21:1-3

Evangelical Heritage Version

Like windstorms that sweep through the Negev,
it comes from the wilderness,
from a terrifying place.
² An ominous vision has been shown to me.
The betrayer betrays; the destroyer destroys.
Elam, attack! Media, lay siege!^[a]
I will bring all her groaning to an end.

³ That is why I am full of anguish.
Pain has taken hold of me,
    like the pain of a woman in labor.
I am stunned by what I hear,
terrified by what I see.
