Exegesis
The imperatives ali {עֲלִ֤י | ʿă-lî} ‘go up’ and tzuri {צוּרִ֣י | ṣū-rî} ‘besiege’ call on Elam and Media, framing judgment.
In context — Isaiah 21:2
A harsh vision has been declared to me; the betrayer acts treacherously, and the spoiler deals violently. Go up, Elam! Besiege, Media! I have put an end to all her sighing .
