Isaiah 21

1The burdenH4853 of the wildernessH4057 of the seaH3220. As whirlwinds in the SouthH5045 sweepH2498 throughH935, it cometh from the wildernessH4057, from a terrible landH776. 2A grievous visionH2380 is declaredH5046 unto meH5046; the treacherousH898 dealer dealeth treacherouslyH898, and the spoiler spoileth. GoH5927 upH5927, O ElamH5867; besiege, O MediaH4074; allH3605 the sighingH585 thereof have I madeH3605 to ceaseH7673. 3Therefore are my loinsH4975 filledH4390 with anguishH2479; pangs have takenH270 holdH270 uponH5921 meH5921, as the pangs of a woman in travail: I am pained soH3651 that I cannot hearH8085; I am dismayedH926 soH3651 that I cannot seeH7200. 4My heartH3824 panteth, horrorH6427 hath affrighted meH7760: the twilightH5399 that I desired hath been turnedH7760 into tremblingH2731 unto meH7760. 5They prepareH6186 the tableH7979, they setH6965 the watch, they eatH398, they drinkH8354: riseH6965 upH6965, ye princesH8269, anointH4886 the shieldH4043. 6For thusH3541 hath the LordH136 saidH559 unto meH413, Go, setH5975 a watchmanH6822; letH5046 him declareH5046 whatH834 he seeth: 7and when he seeth a troop, horsemenH6571 in pairsH6776, a troop of asses, a troop of camelsH1581, he shall hearken diligently with muchH7227 heedH7181. 8And he criedH7121 as a lionH738: O LordH136, I standH5975 continuallyH8548 uponH5921 the watchtowerH4707 in the day-time, and am setH5324 in my ward wholeH3605 nightsH3915: 9and, beholdH2009, hereH2009 cometh a troopH376 of menH376, horsemenH6571 in pairsH6776. And he answeredH559 and saidH559, BabylonH894 is fallenH5307, is fallenH5307; and allH3605 the gravenH6456 imagesH6456 of herH3605 godsH430 are brokenH7665 unto the groundH776. 10O thou my threshingH1637, and the corn of my floorH1637: that whichH834 I have heardH8085 from the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, have I declaredH5046 unto youH834. 11The burdenH4853 of DumahH1746. One calleth unto meH413 outH4100 of SeirH8165, WatchmanH8104, whatH4100 of the nightH3915? WatchmanH8104, whatH4100 of the nightH3915? 12The watchmanH8104 saidH559, The morningH1242 cometh, and also the nightH3915: ifH518 ye will inquireH1158, inquireH1158 ye: turnH7725 ye, comeH857. 13The burdenH4853 upon ArabiaH6152. In the forestH3293 in ArabiaH6152 shall ye lodge, O ye travelling companies of DedanitesH1720. 14Unto him that was thirstyH6771 they brought waterH4325; the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776 of TemaH8485 did meetH6923 the fugitivesH5074 with their breadH3899. 15For they fledH5074 awayH5074 from the swordsH2719, from the drawnH5203 swordH2719, and from the bentH1869 bowH7198, and from the grievousness of warH4421. 16For thusH3541 hath the LordH136 saidH559 unto meH413, WithinH5750 a yearH8141, accordingH413 to the yearsH8141 of an hireling, and allH3605 the gloryH3519 of KedarH6938 shall failH3615: 17and the residue of the numberH4557 of the archersH7198, the mightyH1368 menH1368 of the childrenH1121 of KedarH6938, shall be fewH4557: for the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, hath spokenH1696 it.
