‏ Isaiah 21:3

3 For this reason my stomach churns; ^{▼▼tn Heb “my waist is filled with shaking [or “anguish”].”}
cramps overwhelm me
like the contractions of a woman in labor.
I am disturbed ^{▼▼tn Or perhaps, “bent over [in pain]”; cf. NRSV “I am bowed down.”} by what I hear,
horrified by what I see.
