Berean Standard Bible
Isaiah 21:1-10
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 I desiredhas turned to horror.5They prepare a table, they lay out a carpet,they eat, they drink!
Rise up, O princes, oil the shields!6For this is what the Lord says to me:
“Go, post a lookoutand have him report what he sees.7When he sees chariots with teams of horsemen,riders on donkeys, riders on camels,he must be alert, fully alert.”
“Day after day, my lord,I stand on the watchtower;night after nightI stay at my post.9Look, here come the riders,horsemen in pairs.”
And one answered, saying:
10O my people, crushed on the threshing floor,I tell you what I have heardfrom the LORD of Hosts,the God of Israel.
