Isaiah:21:1-12

Seeker Overlay ON

* THE VISION OF THE DESERT . As though a whirlwind should pass through the desert , coming from a desert , even from such a land , * so a fearful and a grievous vision was declared to me : he that is treacherous deals treacherously , the transgressor transgresses . The Elamites are upon me , and the ambassadors of the Persians come against me : now will I groan and comfort myself . * Therefore are my loins filled with feebleness , and pangs have seized me as a travailing woman : I dealt wrongfully that I might not hear ; I hasted that I might not see . * My heart wanders , and transgression (note :)Lit . baptizes (:note ) overwhelms me ; my soul is occupied with fear . * Prepare the table , eat , drink : arise , ye princes , and prepare your shields . * For thus said the Lord to me , Go and station a watchman for thyself , and declare whatever thou shalt see . * And I saw two mounted horsemen , and a rider on an ass , and a rider on a camel . * Hearken with great attention , and call thou Urias to the watch-tower : the Lord has spoken . I stood continually during the day , and I stood in the camp all night : * and , behold , he comes riding in a chariot and pair : and he answered and said , Babylon is fallen , is fallen ; and all her images and her idols have been crushed to the ground . * Hear , ye that are left , and ye that are in pain , hear what things I have heard of the Lord of hosts which the God of Israel has declared to us . * THE VISION OF IDUMEA . Call to me out of Seir ; guard ye the bulwarks . * I watch in the morning and the night : if thou wouldest enquire , enquire , and dwell by me .
