Chapter 21
Isai | CPDV | 21:1 | The burden of the desert of the sea. Just as the whirlwinds approach from Africa, it approaches from the desert, from a terrible land. | |
Isai | CPDV | 21:2 | A difficult vision has been announced to me: he who is unbelieving, he acts unfaithfully, and he who is a plunderer, he devastates. Ascend, O Elam! Lay siege, O Media! I have caused all its mourning to cease. | |
Isai | CPDV | 21:3 | Because of this, my lower back has been filled with pain, and anguish has possessed me, like the anguish of a woman in labor. I fell down when I heard it. I was disturbed when I saw it. | |
Isai | CPDV | 21:4 | My heart withered. The darkness stupefied me. Babylon, my beloved, has become a wonder to me. | |
Isai | CPDV | 21:5 | Prepare the table. Contemplate, from a place of observation, those who eat and drink. Rise up, you leaders! Take up the shield! | |
Isai | CPDV | 21:6 | For the Lord has said this to me: “Go and station a watchman. And let him announce whatever he will see.” | |
Isai | CPDV | 21:7 | And he saw a chariot with two horsemen, and a rider on a donkey, and a rider on a camel. And he considered them diligently, with an intense gaze. | |
Isai | CPDV | 21:8 | And a lion cried out: “I am on the watchtower of the Lord, standing continually by day. And I am at my station, standing throughout the night. | |
Isai | CPDV | 21:9 | Behold, a certain man approaches, a man riding on a two-horse chariot.” And he responded, and he said: “Fallen, fallen is Babylon! And all its graven gods have been crushed into the earth! | |
Isai | CPDV | 21:10 | O my threshed grain! O sons of my threshing floor! What I have heard from the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, I have announced to you.” | |
Isai | CPDV | 21:11 | The burden of Dumah, cried out to me from Seir: “Watchman, how goes the night? Watchman, how goes the night?” | |
Isai | CPDV | 21:12 | The watchman said: “Morning approaches with the night. If you are seeking: seek, and convert, and approach.” | |
Isai | CPDV | 21:13 | The burden in Arabia. In the forest you shall sleep, in the evening on the paths of Dedanim. | |
Isai | CPDV | 21:14 | You who inhabit the land of the south: upon meeting the thirsty, bring water; meet the fugitive with bread. | |
Isai | CPDV | 21:15 | For they are fleeing before the face of swords, before the face of a sword hanging over them, before the face of a bent bow, before the face of a grievous battle. | |
Isai | CPDV | 21:16 | For the Lord said this to me: “After one more year, just like one year for a hired hand, all the glory of Kedar will be taken away. | |
