Isaiah 21

1The burdenH4853 of the desert of the seaH3220. As whirlwinds in the southH5045 pass through, so it cometh from the desert, from a terrible landH776. 2A grievous visionH2380 is declaredH5046 unto me: the treacherousH898 dealeth treacherouslyH898, and the spoiler spoileth. GoH5927 up, ElamH5867! besiege, MediaH4074! All the sighingH585 thereof have I made to ceaseH7673. 3ThereforeH3651 are my loinsH4975 filledH4390 with pain; anguishH2479 hath takenH270 holdH270 upon me, as the anguishH2479 of a woman in travail: I am bowed down soH3651 as not to hearH8085, I am dismayedH926 soH3651 as not to seeH7200. 4My heartH3824 panteth, horror affrighteth me: the night of my pleasure hath he turned into trembling unto me. 5PrepareH6186 the tableH7979, appoint the watch; eatH398, drinkH8354: ariseH6965, ye princesH8269, anointH4886 the shieldH4043. 6For thusH3541 hath the LordH136 saidH559 unto me: Go, setH5975 a watchmanH6822, let him declareH5046 what he seeth. 7And he sawH7200 chariotsH7393, horsemenH6571 by pairsH6776, a chariotH7393 with asses, a chariotH7393 with camelsH1581; and he hearkened diligently with muchH7227 heed. 8And he cried [as] a lionH738, LordH136, I standH5975 continuallyH8548 upon the watchtowerH4707 in the daytimeH3119, and I am setH5324 in my ward whole nightsH3915. 9— And behold, there cometh a chariotH7393 of menH376; horsemenH6571 by pairsH6776. And he answered and saidH559, BabylonH894 is fallenH5307, is fallenH5307; and all the graven images of her 1godsH430 he hath brokenH7665 unto the groundH776. 10O my threshingH1637, and the corn of my floorH1637! What I have heardH8085 of Jehovah of hostsH6635, the 2GodH430 of IsraelH3478, have I declaredH5046 unto you. 11The burdenH4853 of DumahH1746. He calleth to me out of SeirH8165, WatchmanH8104, what of the nightH3915? WatchmanH8104, what of the nightH3915? 12The watchmanH8104 saidH559, The morningH1242 cometh, and alsoH1571 the nightH3915: if ye will inquire, inquire; returnH7725, comeH857. 13The burdenH4853 against ArabiaH6152. In the forestH3293 of ArabiaH6152 shall ye lodge, [ye] caravans of Dedanites. 14BringH857 ye waterH4325 to meetH6923 the thirstyH6771! The inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776 of TemaH8485 comeH857 forth with their breadH3899 for him that fleeth. 15For they fleeH5074 from the swordsH2719, from the drawn swordH2719, and from the bentH1869 bowH7198, and from the grievousness of warH4421. 16For thusH3541 hath the LordH136 saidH559 unto me: Within a yearH8141, according to the yearsH8141 of a hired servant, and all the gloryH3519 of KedarH6938 shall failH3615; 17and the residue of the numberH4557 of the archers, the mightyH1368 menH1368 of the sonsH1121 of KedarH6938, shall be diminishedH4591: for Jehovah, the 3GodH430 of IsraelH3478, hath spokenH1696.
