A Judgment on Babylon

21An oracle against the desert by the sea: Like storms that pass over the Negev, it comes from the desert, from the land of terror.H4853H4057H3220H5492H5045H2498H935H4057H3372H776
2A troubling vision is declared to me: "The treacherous one acts treacherously, and the destroyer destroys. Advance, Elam! Lay siege, you Medes! I will put an end to all her groaning."H7186H2380H5046H898H898H7703H7703H5927H5867H6696H4074H585H7673
3Therefore I am filled with anguish. Pain grips me, like the pain of a woman in labor. I am too perplexed to hear, too dismayed to see.H4975H4390H2479H6735H270H6735H3205H5753H8085H926H7200
4My heart staggers; horror terrifies me. He has turned my last glimmer of hope into sheer terror.H3824H8582H6427H1204H5399H2837H7760H2731
5Prepare a table, and spread out a carpet! Eat and drink! Rise up, you princes, and oil the shields!H6186H7979H6822H6844H398H8354H6965H8269H4886H4043
6For the Lord has said to me, "Go, post a lookout; let him report what he sees.H136H559H3212H5975H6822H5046H7200
7When he sees riders— pairs of horsemen, riders on donkeys, riders on camels— pay close attention."H7200H7393H6776H6571H7393H2543H7393H1581H7181H7182H7227H7182
8Then the lookout reported, "Lord, I stand on the watchtower all day, and I stay at my post all night.H7121H738H136H5975H8548H4707H3119H5324H4931H3915
9Look, riders come— horsemen in pairs." And he answered, saying, "Babylon has fallen, has fallen. All the idols of her gods have been shattered on the ground."H935H7393H376H6776H6571H6030H559H894H5307H5307H6456H430H7665H776
10My downtrodden and threshed people, I have declared to you what I have heard from the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel.H4098H1121H1637H8085H3068H6635H430H3478H5046

An Oracle against Dumah

11An oracle against Dumah: One calls to me from Seir, "Watchman, what is [left] of the night? Watchman, what is [left] of the night?"H4853H1746H7121H8165H8104H3915H8104H3915
12The watchman said, "Morning has come, and also night. If you want to ask, ask! Come back again."H8104H559H1242H857H3915H1158H1158H7725H857

An Oracle against Arabia

13An oracle against Arabia: You will camp for the night in the scrublands of the desert, you caravans of Dedanites.H4853H6152H3293H6152H3885H736H1720
14Bring water for the thirsty. The inhabitants of the land of Tema meet the refugees with food.H3427H776H8485H857H4325H7125H6771H6923H3899H5074
15For they have fled from swords, from the drawn sword, and from the bent bow, from the stress of battle.H5074H6440H2719H6440H5203H2719H6440H1869H7198H6440H3514H4421
16For the Lord said this to me: "Within one year, as a hired worker counts years, all the glory of Kedar will be gone.H136H559H8141H8141H7916H3519H6938H3615
17The remaining Kedarite archers will be few in number." For the LORD, the God of Israel, has spoken.H7605H4557H7198H1368H1121H6938H4591H3068H430H3478H1696
