Berean Standard Bible
“This is the burden against the Desert by the Sea: Like whirlwinds sweeping through the Negev, an invader comes from the desert, from a land of terror.”
Isaiah 21 contains a series of short, dramatic oracles, beginning with one about the wilderness by the sea, often understood as Babylon. The prophet describes a terrifying vision and a watchman waiting for news, and the language conveys dread and suspense.
