2 A aharsh vision has been declared to me;
The btreacherous one still deals treacherously, and the destroyer still destroys.
Go up, cElam, lay siege, Media;
I have made an end of all the groaning she has caused.
3 For this reason my aloins are full of anguish;
Pains have seized me like the pains of a bwoman in labor.
I am so bewildered I cannot hear, so terrified I cannot see.
4 My heart reels; horror terrorizes me;
The twilight I longed for has been aturned for me into trembling.
