• Isaiah 21:2, 3
    New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)

    •  2 A harsh vision has been told to me:

      The treacherous one is acting treacherously,

      And the destroyer is destroying.

      Go up, O Eʹlam! Lay siege, O Meʹdi·a!+

      I will put an end to all the sighing she caused.+

       3 That is why I am in great anguish.*+

      Convulsions have seized me,

      Like those of a woman giving birth.

      I am too distressed to hear;

      I am too disturbed to see.
