Isaiah 21:1 in Context — Isaiah 21

1 Oracle sur le désert de la mer. Comme s’avance l’ouragan du midi, Il vient du désert, du pays redoutable.

2 Une vision terrible m’a été révélée. L’oppresseur opprime, le dévastateur dévaste. Monte, Élam! Assiège, Médie! Je fais cesser tous les soupirs.

3 C’est pourquoi mes reins sont remplis d’angoisses; Des douleurs me saisissent, Comme les douleurs d’une femme en travail; Les spasmes m’empêchent d’entendre, Le tremblement m’empêche de voir.
