Isaiah 21:8 - Prayer Tents

Isaiah 21

The Fall of Babylon Proclaimed

21The burden against the Wilderness of the Sea. As whirlwinds in the South pass through, So it comes from the desert, from a terrible land.H4853H4057H3220H5492H5045H2498H935H4057H3372H7762A distressing vision is declared to me; The treacherous dealer deals treacherously, And the plunderer plunders. Go up, O Elam! Besiege, O Media! All its sighing I have made to cease.H7186H2380H5046H898H898H7703H7703H5927H5867H6696H4074H585H76733Therefore my loins are filled with pain; Pangs have taken hold of me, like the pangs of a woman in labor. I was distressed when I heard it; I was dismayed when I saw it.H4975H4390H2479H6735H270H6735H3205H5753H8085H926H72004My heart wavered, fearfulness frightened me; The night for which I longed He turned into fear for me.H3824H8582H6427H1204H5399H2837H7760H27315Prepare the table, Set a watchman in the tower, Eat and drink. Arise, you princes, Anoint the shield!H6186H7979H6822H6844H398H8354H6965H8269H4886H40436For thus has the Lord said to me: "Go, set a watchman, Let him declare what he sees."H136H559H3212H5975H6822H5046H72007And he saw a chariot with a pair of horsemen, A chariot of donkeys, and a chariot of camels, And he listened earnestly with great care.H7200H7393H6776H6571H7393H2543H7393H1581H7181H7182H7227H71828Then he cried, "A lion, my Lord! I stand continually on the watchtower in the daytime; I have sat at my post every night.H7121H738H136H5975H8548H4707H3119H5324H4931H39159And look, here comes a chariot of men with a pair of horsemen!" Then he answered and said, "Babylon is fallen, is fallen! And all the carved images of her gods He has broken to the ground."H935H7393H376H6776H6571H6030H559H894H5307H5307H6456H430H7665H77610Oh, my threshing and the grain of my floor! That which I have heard from the LORD of hosts, The God of Israel, I have declared to you.H4098H1121H1637H8085H3068H6635H430H3478H5046

Proclamation Against Edom

11The burden against Dumah. He calls to me out of Seir, "Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night?"H4853H1746H7121H8165H8104H3915H8104H391512The watchman said, "The morning comes, and also the night. If you will inquire, inquire; Return! Come back!"H8104H559H1242H857H3915H1158H1158H7725H857

Proclamation Against Arabia

13The burden against Arabia. In the forest in Arabia you will lodge, O you traveling companies of Dedanites.H4853H6152H3293H6152H3885H736H172014O inhabitants of the land of Tema, Bring water to him who is thirsty; With their bread they met him who fled.H3427H776H8485H857H4325H7125H6771H6923H3899H507415For they fled from the swords, from the drawn sword, From the bent bow, and from the distress of war.H5074H6440H2719H6440H5203H2719H6440H1869H7198H6440H3514H442116For thus the LORD has said to me: "Within a year, according to the year of a hired man, all the glory of Kedar will fail;H136H559H8141H8141H7916H3519H6938H361517"and the remainder of the number of archers, the mighty men of the people of Kedar, will be diminished; for the LORD God of Israel has spoken it."H7605H4557H7198H1368H1121H6938H4591H3068H430H3478H1696
