Isaiah 21:1-3

GOD’S WORD Translation

Babylon Has Fallen

21 This is the divine revelation about the desert by the sea.

Like a storm sweeping through the Negev,
an invader will come from the desert,
from a terrifying land.
²I was shown a harsh vision.
The traitor betrays.
The destroyer destroys.
Go to war, Elam!
Surround them, Media!
I will put an end to all the groaning.
³That is why my body is full of trembling.
Pain grips me like the pain of childbirth.
I’m disturbed by what I hear.
I’m terrified by what I see.
