The burdenH4853 of the desertH4057 of the sea.H3220 As whirlwindsH5492 in the southH5045 passH2498 through; so it comesH935 from the desert,H4057 from a terribleH3372 land.H776
2
A grievousH7186 visionH2380 is declaredH5046 to me; the treacherousH898 dealer dealsH6213 treacherously,H898 and the spoilerH7703 spoils.H7703 GoH5927 up, O Elam:H5867 besiege,H6696 O Media;H4074 allH3605 the sighingH585 thereof have I made to cease.H7673
3
ThereforeH5921 H3651 are my loinsH4975 filledH4390 with pain:H2479 pangsH6735 have takenH270 holdH270 on me, as the pangsH6735 of a woman that travails:H3205 I was bowedH5791 down at the hearingH8085 of it; I was dismayedH926 at the seeingH7200 of it.
4
My heartH3824 panted,H8582 fearfulnessH6427 affrightedH1204 me: the nightH5399 of my pleasureH2837 has he turnedH7760 into fearH2731 to me.
5
PrepareH6186 the table,H7979 watchH6822 in the watchtower,H6844 eat,H398 drink:H8354 arise,H6965 you princes,H8269 and anointH4886 the shield.H4043
6
For thusH3541 has the LORDH136 saidH559 to me, Go,H3212 setH5975 a watchman,H6822 let him declareH5046 whatH834 he sees.H7200
7
And he sawH7200 a chariotH7393 with a coupleH6776 of horsemen,H6571 a chariotH7393 of asses,H2543 and a chariotH7393 of camels;H1581 and he listenedH7181 diligentlyH7182 with muchH7227 heed:H7182
8
And he cried,H7121 A lion:H738 My lord,H136 I standH5975 continuallyH8548 on the watchtowerH4707 in the daytime,H3119 and I am setH5324 in my wardH4931 wholeH3605 nights:H3915
9
And, behold,H2009 hereH2088 comesH935 a chariotH7393 of men,H376 with a coupleH6776 of horsemen.H6571 And he answeredH6030 and said,H559 BabylonH894 is fallen,H5307 is fallen;H5307 and allH3605 the gravenH6456 images of her godsH430 he has brokenH7665 to the ground.H776
10
O my threshing,H4098 and the cornH1121 of my floor:H1637 that whichH834 I have heardH8085 of the LORDH3068 of hosts,H6635 the GodH430 of Israel,H3478 have I declaredH5046 to you.
11
The burdenH4853 of Dumah.H1746 He callsH7121 to me out of Seir,H8165 Watchman,H8104 whatH4100 of the night?H3915 Watchman,H8104 whatH4100 of the night?H3915
12
The watchmanH8104 said,H559 The morningH1242 comes,H857 and alsoH1571 the night:H3915 ifH518 you will inquire,H1158 inquireH1158 you: return,H7725 come.H857
13
The burdenH4853 on Arabia.H6152 In the forestH3293 in ArabiaH6152 shall you lodge,H3885 O you travelingH736 companiesH736 of Dedanim.H1720
14
The inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776 of TemaH8485 broughtH857 waterH4325 to him that was thirsty,H6771 they preventedH6923 with their breadH3899 him that fled.H5074
15
For they fledH5074 from the swords,H2719 from the drawnH5203 sword,H2719 and from the bentH1869 bow,H7198 and from the grievousnessH3514 of war.H4421
16
For thusH3541 has the LORDH136 saidH559 to me, WithinH5750 a year,H8141 according to the yearsH8141 of an hireling,H7916 and allH3605 the gloryH3519 of KedarH6938 shall fail:H3615
17
And the residueH7605 of the numberH4557 of archers,H7198 the mightyH1368 men of the childrenH1121 of Kedar,H6938 shall be diminished:H4591 for the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 has spokenH1696 it.
