A PRONOUNCEMENT AGAINST ARABIA

13 A pronouncement concerning Arabia:h

In the desertC brush

you will camp for the night,

you caravans of Dedanites.i

14 Bring water for the thirsty.

The inhabitants of the land of Temaj

meetD the refugees with food.

15 For they have fled from swords,

from the drawn sword,

from the bow that is strung,

and from the stress of battle.

16 For the Lord said this to me: “Within one year,k as a hired worker counts years, all the glory of Kedarl will be gone. 17 The remaining Kedarite archers will be few in number.” For the Lord, the God of Israel, has spoken.
