Isaiah 21:1 - The Message

A Message concerning the desert at the sea: As tempests drive through the Negev Desert,
   coming out of the desert, that terror-filled place,
A hard vision is given me:
   The betrayer betrayed, the plunderer plundered.
Attack, Elam!
   Lay siege, Media!
Persians, attack!
   Attack, Babylon!
I’ll put an end to
   all the moaning and groaning.
Because of this news I’m doubled up in pain,
   writhing in pain like a woman having a baby,
Baffled by what I hear,
   undone by what I see.
Absolutely stunned,
   horror-stricken,
I had hoped for a relaxed evening,
   but it has turned into a nightmare.
