Isaiah:21
Seeker Overlay ON
*
The burden of the desert of the sea .
As whirlwinds in the south pass through ;
so it cometh from the desert ,
from a terrible land .
*
A grievous vision is declared unto me ;
the treacherous dealer dealeth treacherously ,
and the spoiler spoileth .
Go up ,
O Elam :
besiege ,
O Media ;
all the sighing thereof have I made to cease .
*
Therefore are my loins filled with pain :
pangs have taken hold upon me ,
as the pangs of a woman that travaileth :
I was bowed down at the hearing of it ;
I was dismayed at the seeing of it .
*
My heart panted ,
fearfulness affrighted me :
the night of my pleasure hath he turned into fear unto me .
*
Prepare the table ,
watch in the watchtower ,
eat ,
drink :
arise ,
ye princes ,
and anoint the shield .
*
For thus hath the Lord said unto me ,
Go ,
set a watchman ,
let him declare what he seeth .
*
And he saw a chariot with a couple of horsemen ,
a chariot of asses ,
and a chariot of camels ;
and he hearkened diligently with much heed :
*
And he cried ,
A lion :
My lord ,
I stand continually upon the watchtower in the daytime ,
and I am set in my ward whole nights :
*
And ,
behold ,
here cometh a chariot of men ,
with a couple of horsemen .
And he answered and said ,
Babylon is fallen ,
is fallen ;
and all the graven images of her gods he hath broken unto the ground .
*
O my threshing ,
and the corn of my floor :
that which I have heard of the LORD of hosts ,
the God of Israel Yisra #
el #,
have I declared unto you .
*
The burden of Dumah .
He calleth to me out of Seir Se #
iyr #,
Watchman ,
what of the night ?
Watchman ,
what of the night ?
*
The watchman said ,
The morning cometh ,
and also the night :
if ye will enquire ,
enquire ye :
return ,
come .
*
The burden upon Arabia Arab #.
In the forest in Arabia Arab #
shall ye lodge ,
O ye travelling companies of Dedanim .
*
The inhabitants of the land of Tema brought water to him that was thirsty ,
they prevented with their bread him that fled .
*
For they fled from the swords ,
from the drawn sword ,
and from the bent bow ,
and from the grievousness of war .
*
For thus hath the Lord said unto me ,
Within a year ,
according to the years of an hireling ,
and all the glory of Kedar shall fail :
*
And the residue of the number of archers ,
the mighty men of the children of Kedar ,
shall be diminished :
for the LORD God of Israel hath spoken it .
