Isaiah 21:2-3

Context

21:2 I have received a distressing message: 1 

“The deceiver deceives,

the destroyer destroys.

Attack, you Elamites!

Lay siege, you Medes!

I will put an end to all the groaning!” 2 

21:3 For this reason my stomach churns; 3 

cramps overwhelm me

like the contractions of a woman in labor.

I am disturbed 4  by what I hear,

horrified by what I see.

1 tn Heb “a severe revelation has been related to me.”

2 sn This is often interpreted to mean “all the groaning” that Babylon has caused others.

3 tn Heb “my waist is filled with shaking [or “anguish”].”

4 tn Or perhaps, “bent over [in pain]”; cf. NRSV “I am bowed down.”
