Isaiah 21:2-4

Easy-to-Read Version

Elam, go against them!
    Media, surround the city!
    I will put an end to all their moaning.

³ I saw those terrible things, and now I am afraid.
    My fear makes my stomach hurt like the pain of giving birth.
What I hear frightens me.
    What I see makes me shake with fear.
⁴ I am worried and shaking with fear.
    My pleasant evening has become a nightmare.
