Exegesis
The construct kol-anchatah {כָּל־אַנְחָתָ֖ה | kāl-ʼăn-ḥā-tā} ‘all sighing’ with Hiphil perfect hishbati {הִשְׁבַּֽתִּי | hiš-ba-tî} ‘I have made cease’ portrays decisive divine action ending lament. The translation preserves Hebrew parallelism and emphatic progression from vision to judgment to cessation of suffering.
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 .
