Isaiah 21:3-9 Because of this my loins are filled with pain; pangs have taken hold on me like the pangs of a travailing woman. I am bowed from hearing; I am troubled from seeing.

LITV⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ Because of this my loins are filled with pain; pangs have taken hold on me like the pangs of a travailing woman. I am bowed from hearing; I am troubled from seeing. ⁴ My heart wanders; terror overwhelms me; He has turned the twilight of my pleasure into trembling. ⁵ Prepare the table; watch in the watchtower; eat, drink; rise up, rulers, and anoint the shield. ⁶ For so the Lord has said to me: Go, set a watchman; he will declare what he sees. ⁷ And he sees a chariot, a couple of horsemen; a chariot of an ass; a chariot of a camel; and let him bow attentively, very attentively. ⁸ And he cried, A lion! My lord, I always stand on my watchtower by day; and I am stationed at my post all the nights. ⁹ And, behold, here comes a chariot of a man, a pair of horses. And he answered and said, Babylon has fallen, has fallen! And He has smashed the cut images of her gods to the earth.
