Isaiah 21

God Commands That Babylon Be Taken

21The oracle concerning the wilderness of the sea. As windstorms in the Negev sweep on, It comes from the wilderness, from a terrifying land.H4853H4057H3220H5492H5045H2498H935H4057H3372H7762A harsh vision has been shown to me; The treacherous one still deals treacherously, [and] the destroyer still destroys. Go up, Elam, lay siege, Media; I have made an end of all the groaning she has caused.H7186H2380H5046H898H898H7703H7703H5927H5867H6696H4074H585H76733For this reason my loins are full of anguish; Pains have seized me like the pains of a woman in labor. I am so bewildered I cannot hear, so terrified I cannot see.H4975H4390H2479H6735H270H6735H3205H5753H8085H926H72004My mind reels, horror overwhelms me; The twilight I longed for has been turned for me into trembling.H3824H8582H6427H1204H5399H2837H7760H27315They set the table, they spread out the cloth, they eat, they drink; "Rise up, captains, oil the shields,"H6186H7979H6822H6844H398H8354H6965H8269H4886H40436For thus the Lord says to me, "Go, station the lookout, let him report what he sees.H136H559H3212H5975H6822H5046H72007"When he sees riders, horsemen in pairs, A train of donkeys, a train of camels, Let him pay close attention, very close attention."H7200H7393H6776H6571H7393H2543H7393H1581H7181H7182H7227H71828Then the lookout called, "O Lord, I stand continually by day on the watchtower, And I am stationed every night at my guard post.H7121H738H136H5975H8548H4707H3119H5324H4931H39159"Now behold, here comes a troop of riders, horsemen in pairs." And one answered and said, "Fallen, fallen is Babylon; And all the images of her gods are shattered on the ground."H935H7393H376H6776H6571H6030H559H894H5307H5307H6456H430H7665H77610O my threshed [people,] and my afflicted of the threshing floor! What I have heard from the LORD of hosts, The God of Israel, I make known to you.H4098H1121H1637H8085H3068H6635H430H3478H5046

Oracles about Edom and Arabia

11The oracle concerning Edom. One keeps calling to me from Seir, " Watchman, how far gone is the night? Watchman, how far gone is the night? "H4853H1746H7121H8165H8104H3915H8104H391512The watchman says, "Morning comes but also night. If you would inquire, inquire; Come back again."H8104H559H1242H857H3915H1158H1158H7725H85713The oracle about Arabia. In the thickets of Arabia you must spend the night, O caravans of Dedanites.H4853H6152H3293H6152H3885H736H172014Bring water for the thirsty, O inhabitants of the land of Tema, Meet the fugitive with bread.H3427H776H8485H857H4325H7125H6771H6923H3899H507415For they have fled from the swords, From the drawn sword, and from the bent bow, And from the press of battle.H5074H6440H2719H6440H5203H2719H6440H1869H7198H6440H3514H442116For thus the Lord said to me, "In a year, as a hired man would count it, all the splendor of Kedar will terminate;H136H559H8141H8141H7916H3519H6938H361517and the remainder of the number of bowmen, the mighty men of the sons of Kedar, will be few; for the LORD God of Israel has spoken.
