Isaiah 21:1-2

1This is a message about the desert near the sea. Trouble is coming from the desert, like a strong wind that blows from the south. It comes from a land of great fear.

2The Lord showed me a vision of terrible things. ‘People are deceiving one another! People are destroying one another! Elam, go to attack Babylon! People from Media, attack all round the city! I will stop all the tears that Babylon's armies have caused.’
