Isaiah 21:2-4
EasyEnglish Bible

2 The Lord showed me a vision of terrible things.

‘People are deceiving one another!
    People are destroying one another!
Elam, go to attack Babylon!
    People from Media, attack all round the city!
I will stop all the tears that Babylon's armies have caused.’

3 Because of that vision, I am very upset. Bad pains attack me, like the pains of a woman who is giving birth. My body hurts because of the things that I have heard. I am afraid to look! 4 It confuses my mind. I shake with fear. I wanted a quiet evening, but instead there is terror.

Isaiah 21:2-4
New International Version

2 A dire(A) vision has been shown to me:
    The traitor betrays,(B) the looter takes loot.
Elam,(C) attack! Media,(D) lay siege!
    I will bring to an end all the groaning she caused.

3 At this my body is racked with pain,(E)
    pangs seize me, like those of a woman in labor;(F)
I am staggered by what I hear,
    I am bewildered(G) by what I see.
4 My heart(H) falters,
    fear makes me tremble;(I)
the twilight I longed for
    has become a horror(J) to me.
