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>.
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).
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.
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.
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>.
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).
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>:
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> :
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>.
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.
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>?
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).
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>.
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).
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>.
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):
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.
