Oracles concerning Babylon, Edom, and Arabia

21The oracle concerning the wilderness of the sea. As whirlwinds in the Negeb sweep on, it comes from the desert, from a terrible land.H4853H4057H3220H5492H5045H2498H935H4057H3372H7762A stern vision is told to me; the betrayer betrays, and the destroyer destroys. Go up, O Elam, lay siege, O Media; all the sighing she has caused I bring to an end.H7186H2380H5046H898H898H7703H7703H5927H5867H6696H4074H585H76733Therefore my loins are filled with anguish; pangs have seized me, like the pangs of a woman in labor; I am bowed down so that I cannot hear, I am dismayed so that I cannot see.H4975H4390H2479H6735H270H6735H3205H5753H8085H926H72004My mind reels, horror has appalled me; the twilight I longed for has been turned for me into trembling.H3824H8582H6427H1204H5399H2837H7760H27315They prepare the table, they spread the rugs, they eat, they drink. Rise up, commanders, oil the shield!H6186H7979H6822H6844H398H8354H6965H8269H4886H40436For thus the Lord said to me: "Go, post a lookout, let him announce what he sees.H136H559H3212H5975H6822H5046H72007When he sees riders, horsemen in pairs, riders on donkeys, riders on camels, let him listen diligently, very diligently."H7200H7393H6776H6571H7393H2543H7393H1581H7181H7182H7227H71828Then the watcher called out: "Upon a watchtower I stand, O Lord, continually by day, and at my post I am stationed throughout the night.H7121H738H136H5975H8548H4707H3119H5324H4931H39159Look, there they come, riders, horsemen in pairs!" Then he responded, "Fallen, fallen is Babylon; and all the images of her gods lie shattered on the ground."H935H7393H376H6776H6571H6030H559H894H5307H5307H6456H430H7665H77610O my threshed and winnowed one, what I have heard from the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, I announce to you.H4098H1121H1637H8085H3068H6635H430H3478H504611The oracle concerning Dumah. One is calling to me from Seir, "Sentinel, what of the night? Sentinel, what of the night?"H4853H1746H7121H8165H8104H3915H8104H391512The sentinel says: "Morning comes, and also the night. If you will inquire, inquire; come back again."H8104H559H1242H857H3915H1158H1158H7725H85713The oracle concerning the desert plain. In the scrub of the desert plain you will lodge, O caravans of Dedanites.H4853H6152H3293H6152H3885H736H172014Bring water to the thirsty, meet the fugitive with bread, O inhabitants of the land of Tema.H3427H776H8485H857H4325H7125H6771H6923H3899H507415For they have fled from the swords, from the drawn sword, from the bent bow, and from the stress of battle.H5074H6440H2719H6440H5203H2719H6440H1869H7198H6440H3514H442116For thus the Lord said to me: Within a year, according to the years of a hired worker, all the glory of Kedar will come to an end;H136H559H8141H8141H7916H3519H6938H361517and the remaining bows of Kedar's warriors will be few; for the LORD, the God of Israel, has spoken.H7605H4557H7198H1368H1121H6938H4591H3068H430H3478H1696
