2 A stern vision is told to me;
the betrayer betrays,
and the destroyer destroys.
Go up, O Elam;

all the sighing she has caused
I bring to an end.(A)
3 Therefore my loins are filled with anguish;
pangs have seized me
like the pangs of a woman in labor;
I am bowed down so that I cannot hear;
I am dismayed so that I cannot see.(B)
4 My mind reels; horror has appalled me;
the twilight I longed for
has been turned for me into trembling.(C)

they will be in anguish like a woman in labor.
They will look aghast at one another;
their faces will be aflame.(C)
