Vision of the fall of Babylon


21:1 The burden of the desert of the sea. As windstorms in the south pass through; so it comes from the desert, from a terrible land.

21:3 So are my loins filled with pain: pains have taken hold on me, like the pains of a woman that gives birth: I was bent down at the hearing [of it]; I was dismayed at the seeing [of it].
21:4 My mind wandered, horror frighted me: the night of my desire has He put into fear to me.
21:5 Prepare the table, watch in the watchtower, eat, drink: y’all rulers, get up and anoint the shield.
21:6 Because YAHWEH יְהֹוָה
