A grievous vision is declared unto me; the treacherous man dealeth treacherously, and the destroyer destroyeth. Go up, O Elam; besiege, O Media; all the sighing thereof have I made to cease.

A vision of fear comes before my eyes; the worker of deceit goes on in his false way, and the waster goes on making waste. Up! Elam; to the attack! Media; I have put an end to her sorrow.

Σκληρον οραμα εφανερωθη εις εμε· ο καταδυναστευων καταδυναστευει και ο πορθων πορθει. Αναβηθι, Ελαμ· πολιορκησον, Μηδια· επαυσα πασας τας καταδυναστειας αυτης.

A grievous vision is declared unto me; the treacherous dealer dealeth treacherously, and the spoiler spoileth. Go up, O Elam: besiege, O Media; all the sighing thereof have I made to cease.
