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

that which I have heard
of the LORD
of hosts,
the God
of Israel,
have I declared
unto you.
The burden
of Dumah.
He calleth
to me out of Seir,
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.
In the forest
in Arabia
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.
