Chapter 21
| Isai | GodsWord | 21:1 | This is the divine revelation about the desert by the sea. Like a storm sweeping through the Negev, an invader will come from the desert, from a terrifying land. | |
| Isai | GodsWord | 21:2 | I was shown a harsh vision. The traitor betrays. The destroyer destroys. Go to war, Elam! Surround them, Media! I will put an end to all the groaning. | |
| Isai | GodsWord | 21:3 | That is why my body is full of trembling. Pain grips me like the pain of childbirth. I'm disturbed by what I hear. I'm terrified by what I see. | |
| Isai | GodsWord | 21:4 | I'm confused. I'm shaking with terror. The twilight hours I longed for make me tremble. | |
| Isai | GodsWord | 21:5 | Set the table. Spread the rugs by the table. Eat. Drink. Get up, you leaders! Prepare your shields for battle! | |
| Isai | GodsWord | 21:6 | This is what the Lord says to me: Post a watchman. Have him report whatever he sees. | |
| Isai | GodsWord | 21:7 | He will see chariots, pairs of horsemen, riders on donkeys, and riders on camels. Let him watch carefully, very carefully. | |
| Isai | GodsWord | 21:8 | The watchman called, "Sir, I stand on the watchtower every day. Every night, I stand guard at my post. | |
| Isai | GodsWord | 21:9 | Look! Here come chariots and horsemen in pairs." Then he said, "Babylon has fallen! It has fallen! All the idols they worship lie shattered on the ground." | |
| Isai | GodsWord | 21:10 | You, my people, have been threshed and winnowed. I make known to you what I heard from the LORD of Armies, the God of Israel. | |
| Isai | GodsWord | 21:11 | This is the divine revelation about Dumah. Someone is calling to me from Seir, "Watchman, how much of the night is left? Watchman, how much of the night is left?" | |
| Isai | GodsWord | 21:12 | The watchman answers, "Morning is coming, and night will come again. If you need to ask, come back and ask." | |
| Isai | GodsWord | 21:13 | This is the divine revelation about Arabia. You caravan of travelers from the people of Dedan will spend the night in the forest of Arabia. | |
| Isai | GodsWord | 21:14 | Bring water for the thirsty, you inhabitants of the land of Tema. Bring food to the fugitives. | |
| Isai | GodsWord | 21:15 | They flee from swords, from swords ready to kill, from bows ready to shoot, and from the thick of battle. | |
| Isai | GodsWord | 21:16 | This is what the Lord says to me: All of Kedar's honor will be gone in another year. I will count it like workers count the years left on their contracts. | |
