The Fall Of Babylon

¹ The oracle on the desert of the sea: As storm-winds in the South which with a rush from the desert, do come from a terrible land, ² So hath, a grievous vision, been told me: - the deceiver, is deceiving. And the spoiler, is spoiling, Go up, O Elam Besiege O Media, All the sighing she hath caused, have I made to cease. ³ For this cause, are my loins filled with anguish, Pangs, have seized me, as the pangs of her that is giving birth, - I writhe so that I cannot hear, I tremble, so that I cannot see:
