Isaiah 21:3
Berean Standard Bible
Therefore my body is filled with anguish. Pain grips me, like the pains of a woman in labor. I am bewildered to hear, I am dismayed to see.
Context
1This is the burden against the Desert by the Sea:
Like whirlwinds sweeping through the Negev,
an invader comes from the desert,
from a land of terror. 2A dire vision is declared to me:
“The traitor still betrays,
and the destroyer still destroys.
Go up, O Elam! Lay siege, O Media!
I will put an end to all her groaning.” 3Therefore my body is filled with anguish.
Pain grips me, like the pains of a woman in labor.
I am bewildered to hear,
I am dismayed to see. 4My heart falters;
fear makes me tremble.
The twilight of my desire
has turned to horror. 5They prepare a table, they lay out a carpet,
they eat, they drink!
Rise up, O princes, oil the shields!
