Isaiah 21:1–12
The aburden of bthe desert of cthe sea.
As dwhirlwinds in the south pass through;
So eit cometh from the desert, from a terrible land.
2 A †grievous vision is declared unto me;
fgThe treacherous dealer dealeth treacherously, and fthe spoiler spoileth.
Go up, hO Elam: besiege, iO Media;
All the sighing thereof khave I made to cease.
3 Therefore lare my loins filled with pain:
mPangs have taken hold upon me, as the pangs of a woman that travaileth:
I was nbowed down at the hearing of it;
I was dismayed at the seeing of it.
4 ||My heart panted, ofearfulness affrighted me:
pThe night of my qpleasure hath he †turned into fear unto me.
5 rPrepare the table, watch in the watchtower, eat, drink:
Arise, ye princes, and sanoint the shield.
6 For thus hath the Lord said unto me,
Go, set a watchman,
Let him declare what he seeth.
7 And he saw ta chariot with ua couple of horsemen,
A chariot of asses, and a chariot of camels;
And he hearkened vdiligently with much vheed:
8 And ||he cried, A lion:
My lord, wI stand continually upon the watchtower in the daytime,
And wI am set in my ward ||whole nights:
9 And, behold, here cometh ta chariot of men, with ua couple of horsemen.
And he answered and said,
xBabylon is fallen, is fallen;
And yall the graven images of her gods he hath broken unto the ground.
10 O my zthreshing, and the †corn of amy floor:
That which I have heard of the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel,
Have I declared unto you.
He calleth to me out of dSeir,
Watchman, what of the night?
Watchman, what of the night?
The morning cometh, and also the night:
If ye will inquire, inquire ye:
Return, ecome.
