Isaiah 21:1-17

21:1

The burden
<04853>

of the desert
<04057>

of the sea
<03220>_.

As whirlwinds
<05492>

in the south
<05045>

pass
<02498> (8800)

through; [so] it cometh
<0935> (8802)

from the desert
<04057>_,

from a terrible
<03372> (8737)

land
<0776>_.

21:2

A grievous
<07186>

vision
<02380>

is declared
<05046> (8717)

unto me; the treacherous dealer
<0898> (8802)

dealeth treacherously
<0898> (8802)_,

and the spoiler
<07703> (8802)

spoileth
<07703> (8802)_.

Go up
<05927> (8798)_,

O Elam
<05867>_:

besiege
<06696> (8798)_,

O Media
<04074>_;

all the sighing
<0585>

thereof have I made to cease
<07673> (8689)_.

{grievous: Heb. hard}

21:3

Therefore are my loins
<04975>

filled
<04390> (8804)

with pain
<02479>_:

pangs
<06735>

have taken hold
<0270> (8804)

upon me, as the pangs
<06735>

of a woman that travaileth
<03205> (8802)_:

I was bowed down
<05753> (8738)

at the hearing
<08085> (8800)

[of it]; I was dismayed
<0926> (8738)

at the seeing
<07200> (8800)

[of it].

21:4

My heart
<03824>

panted
<08582> (8804)_,

fearfulness
<06427>

affrighted
<01204> (8765)

me: the night
<05399>

of my pleasure
<02837>

hath he turned
<07760> (8804)

into fear
<02731>

unto me. {heart...: or, mind wandered} {turned: Heb. put}

21:5

Prepare
<06186> (8800)

the table
<07979>_,

watch
<06822> (8800)

in the watchtower
<06844>_,

eat
<0398> (8800)_,

drink
<08354> (8800)_:

arise
<06965> (8798)_,

ye princes
<08269>_,

[and] anoint
<04886> (8798)

the shield
<04043>_.

21:6

For thus hath the Lord
<0136>

said
<0559> (8804)

unto me, Go
<03212> (8798)_,

set
<05975> (8685)

a watchman
<06822> (8764)_,

let him declare
<05046> (8686)

what he seeth
<07200> (8799)_.

21:7

And he saw
<07200> (8804)

a chariot
<07393>

[with] a couple
<06776>

of horsemen
<06571>_,

a chariot
<07393>

of asses
<02543>_,

[and] a chariot
<07393>

of camels
<01581>_;

and he hearkened
<07181> (8689)

diligently
<07182>

with much
<07227>

heed
<07182>_:

21:8

And he cried
<07121> (8799)_,

A lion
<0738>_:

My lord
<0136>_,

I stand
<05975> (8802)

continually
<08548>

upon the watchtower
<04707>

in the daytime
<03119>_,

and I am set
<05324> (8737)

in my ward
<04931>

whole nights
<03915>_:

{he...: or, cried as a lion} {whole...: or, every night}

21:9

And, behold, here cometh
<0935> (8802)

a chariot
<07393>

of men
<0376>_,

[with] a couple
<06776>

of horsemen
<06571>_.

And he answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Babylon
<0894>

is fallen
<05307> (8804)_,

is fallen
<05307> (8804)_;

and all the graven images
<06456>

of her gods
<0430>

he hath broken
<07665> (8765)

unto the ground
<0776>_.

21:10

O my threshing
<04098>_,

and the corn
<01121>

of my floor
<01637>_:

that which I have heard
<08085> (8804)

of the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_,

the God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_,

have I declared
<05046> (8689)

unto you. {corn: Heb. son}

21:11

The burden
<04853>

of Dumah
<01746>_.

He calleth
<07121> (8802)

to me out of Seir
<08165>_,

Watchman
<08104> (8802)_,

what of the night
<03915>_?

Watchman
<08104> (8802)_,

what of the night
<03915>_?

21:12

The watchman
<08104> (8802)

said
<0559> (8804)_,

The morning
<01242>

cometh
<0857> (8804)_,

and also the night
<03915>_:

if ye will enquire
<01158> (8799)_,

enquire
<01158> (8798)

ye: return
<07725> (8798)_,

come
<0857> (8798)_.

21:13

The burden
<04853>

upon Arabia
<06152>_.

In the forest
<03293>

in Arabia
<06152>

shall ye lodge
<03885> (8799)_,

O ye travelling companies
<0736>

of Dedanim
<01720>_.

21:14

The inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of the land
<0776>

of Tema
<08485>

brought
<0857> (8689)

water
<04325>

to him
<07125> (8800)

that was thirsty
<06771>_,

they prevented
<06923> (8765)

with their bread
<03899>

him that fled
<05074> (8802)_.

{brought: or, bring ye}

21:15

For they fled
<05074> (8804)

from
<06440>

the swords
<02719>_,

from
<06440>

the drawn
<05203> (8803)

sword
<02719>_,

and from
<06440>

the bent
<01869> (8803)

bow
<07198>_,

and from
<06440>

the grievousness
<03514>

of war
<04421>_.

{from the swords: or, for fear, etc: Heb. from the face, etc}

21:16

For thus hath the Lord
<0136>

said
<0559> (8804)

unto me, Within a year
<08141>_,

according to the years
<08141>

of an hireling
<07916>_,

and all the glory
<03519>

of Kedar
<06938>

shall fail
<03615> (8804)_:

21:17

And the residue
<07605>

of the number
<04557>

of archers
<07198>_,

the mighty men
<01368>

of the children
<01121>

of Kedar
<06938>_,

shall be diminished
<04591> (8799)_:

for the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>

hath spoken
<01696> (8765)

[it]. {archers: Heb. bows}
