Isaiah 21:2 Context
1The burden of the desert of the sea. As whirlewinds in the South passe thorough; so it commeth from the desert, from a terrible land. 2A grieuous vision is declared vnto me; The treacherous dealer dealeth treacherously, and the spoiler spoileth: Goe, vp O Elam: besiege, O Media: all the sighing thereof haue I made to cease. 3Therefore are my loynes filled with paine, pangs haue taken hold vpon me, as the pangs of a woman that trauelleth: I was bowed downe at the hearing of it, I was dismayed at the seeing of it. 4My heart panted, fearefulnesse affrighted me: the night of my pleasure hath he turned into feare vnto me.

A harsh vision has been shown to me; The treacherous one {still} deals treacherously, and the destroyer {still} destroys. Go up, Elam, lay siege, Media; I have made an end of all the groaning she has caused.
