1 This is a message about the Desert by the Sea:Disaster is coming from the desertlike wind blowing in the south.It is coming from a terrible country.
2 I have seen a terrible vision.I see traitors turning against youand people taking your wealth.Elam, attack the people!Media, surround the city and attack it!I will bring an end to the pain the city causes.
3 I saw those terrible things, and now I am in pain;my pains are like the pains of giving birth.What I hear makes me very afraid;what I see causes me to shake with fear.
4 I am worried,and I am shaking with fear.My pleasant eveninghas become a night of fear.
