Isaiah:21:1-10
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 .
