[1]The burdenH4853 of the desertH4057 of the seaH3220. As whirlwindsH5492 in the southH5045 passH2498[H8800] through; so it comethH935[H8802] from the desertH4057, from a terribleH3372[H8737] landH776.
[2]A grievousH7186 visionH2380 is declaredH5046[H8717] unto me; the treacherous dealerH898[H8802] dealeth treacherouslyH898[H8802], and the spoilerH7703[H8802] spoilethH7703[H8802]. Go upH5927[H8798], O ElamH5867: besiegeH6696[H8798], O MediaH4074; all the sighingH585 thereof have I made to ceaseH7673.[H8689]
[3]Therefore are my loinsH4975 filledH4390[H8804] with painH2479: pangsH6735 have taken holdH270[H8804] upon me, as the pangsH6735 of a woman that travailethH3205[H8802]: I was bowed downH5753[H8738] at the hearingH8085[H8800] of it; I was dismayedH926[H8738] at the seeingH7200 of itH8800.
[4]My heartH3824 pantedH8582[H8804], fearfulnessH6427 affrightedH1204[H8765] me: the nightH5399 of my pleasureH2837 hath he turnedH7760[H8804] into fear unto meH2731.
[5]PrepareH6186[H8800] the tableH7979, watchH6822[H8800] in the watchtowerH6844, eatH398[H8800], drinkH8354[H8800]: ariseH6965[H8798], ye princesH8269, and anointH4886[H8798] the shieldH4043.
[6]For thus hath the LordH136 saidH559[H8804] unto me, GoH3212[H8798], setH5975[H8685] a watchmanH6822[H8764], let him declareH5046[H8686] what he seethH7200.[H8799]
[7]And he sawH7200[H8804] a chariotH7393 with a coupleH6776 of horsemenH6571, a chariotH7393 of assesH2543, and a chariotH7393 of camelsH1581; and he hearkenedH7181[H8689] diligentlyH7182 with muchH7227 heedH7182:
[8]And he criedH7121[H8799], A lionH738: My lordH136, I standH5975[H8802] continuallyH8548 upon the watchtowerH4707 in the daytimeH3119, and I am setH5324[H8737] in my wardH4931 whole nightsH3915:
[9]And, behold, here comethH935[H8802] a chariotH7393 of menH376, with a coupleH6776 of horsemenH6571. And he answeredH6030[H8799] and saidH559[H8799], BabylonH894 is fallenH5307[H8804], is fallenH5307[H8804]; and all the graven imagesH6456 of her godsH430 he hath brokenH7665[H8765] unto the groundH776.
[10]O my threshingH4098, and the cornH1121 of my floorH1637: that which I have heardH8085[H8804] of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, have I declaredH5046 unto youH8689.
[11]The burdenH4853 of DumahH1746. He callethH7121[H8802] to me out of SeirH8165, WatchmanH8104[H8802], what of the nightH3915? WatchmanH8104[H8802], what of the nightH3915?
[12]The watchmanH8104[H8802] saidH559[H8804], The morningH1242 comethH857[H8804], and also the nightH3915: if ye will enquireH1158[H8799], enquireH1158[H8798] ye: returnH7725[H8798], comeH857.[H8798]
[13]The burdenH4853 upon ArabiaH6152. In the forestH3293 in ArabiaH6152 shall ye lodgeH3885[H8799], O ye travelling companiesH736 of DedanimH1720.
[14]The inhabitantsH3427[H8802] of the landH776 of TemaH8485 broughtH857[H8689] waterH4325 to himH7125[H8800] that was thirstyH6771, they preventedH6923[H8765] with their breadH3899 him that fledH5074.[H8802]
[15]For they fledH5074[H8804] fromH6440 the swordsH2719, fromH6440 the drawnH5203[H8803] swordH2719, and fromH6440 the bentH1869[H8803] bowH7198, and fromH6440 the grievousnessH3514 of warH4421.
[16]For thus hath the LordH136 saidH559[H8804] unto me, Within a yearH8141, according to the yearsH8141 of an hirelingH7916, and all the gloryH3519 of KedarH6938 shall failH3615:[H8804]
[17]And the residueH7605 of the numberH4557 of archersH7198, the mighty menH1368 of the childrenH1121 of KedarH6938, shall be diminishedH4591[H8799]: for the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 hath spokenH1696 itH8765.
