Isaiah 21:2-9 A hard vision was announced to me: The spoiler spoiled, and he laying waste, laid waste. Go up, O Elam: press, O Media; all her sighing I caused to cease.

JuliaSmith⁽ⁱ⁾ ² A hard vision was announced to me: The spoiler spoiled, and he laying waste, laid waste. Go up, O Elam: press, O Media; all her sighing I caused to cease. ³ For this, my loins were filled with pain: distress took hold of me as the pains of her bringing forth: I was shaken from hearing; I trembled from seeing ⁴ My heart wandered; trembling made me afraid: the evening twilight of my desire he put to me for fear. ⁵ Set in order the table; view the watch-tower; eat, drink: arise ye chiefs, anoint the shield. ⁶ For thus said Jehovah to me, Go set up a watchman, he shall announce what he shall see. ⁷ He will see a chariot, a pair of horse men, the rider of an ass, the rider of a camel; and listening, he listened with much attention. ⁸ And he will call, A lion: on the watch-tower my lord, I stand continually in the day, and upon my watch I stand all the night ⁹ And behold, here came a chariot, a man, a pair of horsemen. And he will answer and say, She fell, Babel fell; and the carved images of her god he brake in pieces to the earth.
