1 This is the divine revelation about the desert by the sea.Like a storm sweeping through the Negev,an invader will come from the desert,from a terrifying land.
2 I was shown a harsh vision.The traitor betrays.The destroyer destroys.Go to war, Elam!Surround them, Media!I will put an end to all the groaning.
3 That is why my body is full of trembling.Pain grips me like the pain of childbirth.I’m disturbed by what I hear.I’m terrified by what I see.
4 I’m confused.I’m shaking with terror.The twilight hours I longed for make me tremble.
