Isaiah 21:2

The Fall Of Babylon

¹ The burden of the desert of the sea. As whirlwinds in the south pass through, so it cometh from the desert, from a terrible land. ² A grievous vision is declared unto me: the treacherous dealeth treacherously, and the spoiler spoileth. Go up, Elam! besiege, Media! All the sighing thereof have I made to cease. ³ Therefore are my loins filled with pain; anguish hath taken hold upon me, as the anguish of a woman in travail: I am bowed down so as not to hear, I am dismayed so as not to see.
