ISA-21:1 The burden of the desert of the sea. As whirlwinds in

the south pass through; [so] it cometh from the desert, from a

terrible land.

ISA-21:2 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.

ISA-21:3 Therefore are my loins filled with pain: pangs have

taken hold upon me, as the pangs of a woman that travaileth: I

was bowed down at the hearing [of it]; I was dismayed at the

seeing [of it].

ISA-21:4 My heart panted, fearfulness affrighted me: the night

of my pleasure hath he turned into fear unto me.

ISA-21:5 Prepare the table, watch in the watchtower, eat, drink:

arise, ye princes, [and] anoint the shield.

ISA-21:6 For thus hath the Lord said unto me, Go, set a watchman,

 let him declare what he seeth.

ISA-21:7 And he saw a chariot [with] a couple of horsemen, a

chariot of asses, [and] a chariot of camels; and he hearkened

diligently with much heed:

ISA-21:8 And he cried, A lion: My lord, I stand continually upon

the watchtower in the daytime, and I am set in my ward whole

nights:

ISA-21:9 And, behold, here cometh a chariot of men, [with] a

couple of horsemen. And he answered and said, Babylon is fallen,

is fallen; and all the graven images of her gods he hath broken

unto the ground.

ISA-21:10 O my threshing, and the corn of my floor: that which I

have heard of the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, have I

declared unto you.

ISA-21:11 The burden of Dumah. He calleth to me out of Seir,

Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night?

ISA-21:12 The watchman said, The morning cometh, and also the

night: if ye will inquire, inquire ye: return, come.

ISA-21:13 The burden upon Arabia. In the forest in Arabia shall

ye lodge, O ye travelling companies of Dedanim.

ISA-21:14 The inhabitants of the land of Tema brought water to

him that was thirsty, they prevented with their bread him that

fled.

ISA-21:15 For they fled from the swords, from the drawn sword,

and from the bent bow, and from the grievousness of war.

ISA-21:16 For thus hath the Lord said unto me, Within a year,

according to the years of an hireling, and all the glory of

Kedar shall fail:

ISA-21:17 And the residue of the number of archers, the mighty

men of the children of Kedar, shall be diminished: for the LORD

God of Israel hath spoken [it].
