Isaiah 21:1-3
Holman Christian Standard Bible
A Judgment on Babylon
21 An oracle(A) against the desert by the sea:(B)
Like storms that pass over the Negev,
it comes from the desert, from the land of terror.
2 A troubling vision is declared to me:
“The treacherous one acts treacherously,(C)
and the destroyer destroys.
Advance, Elam! Lay siege, you Medes!
I will put an end to all her groaning.”
3 Therefore I am[a] filled with anguish.
Pain grips me, like the pain of a woman in labor.(D)
I am too perplexed to hear,
too dismayed to see.

Like whirlwinds(C) sweeping through the southland,(D)
an invader comes from the desert,
from a land of terror.
