Chapter 21
| Isai | JPS | 21:1 | The burden of the wilderness of the sea. As whirlwinds in the South sweeping on, it cometh from the wilderness, from a dreadful land. | |
| Isai | JPS | 21:2 | A grievous vision is declared unto me: 'The treacherous dealer dealeth treacherously, and the spoiler spoileth. Go up, O Elam! besiege, O Media! All the sighing thereof have I made to cease.' | |
| Isai | JPS | 21:3 | Therefore are my loins filled with convulsion; pangs have taken hold upon me, as the pangs of a woman in travail; I am bent so that I cannot hear; I am affrighted so that I cannot see. | |
| Isai | JPS | 21:4 | My heart is bewildered, terror hath overwhelmed me; the twilight that I longed for hath been turned for me into trembling. | |
| Isai | JPS | 21:5 | They prepare the table, they light the lamps, they eat, they drink--' Rise up, ye princes, anoint the shield.' | |
| Isai | JPS | 21:6 | For thus hath the L-rd said unto me: Go, set a watchman; let him declare what he seeth! | |
| Isai | JPS | 21:7 | And when he seeth a troop, horsemen by pairs, a troop of asses, a troop of camels, he shall hearken diligently with much heed. | |
| Isai | JPS | 21:8 | And he cried as a lion: 'Upon the watch-tower, O L-rd, I stand continually in the daytime, and I am set in my ward all the nights.' | |
| Isai | JPS | 21:9 | And, behold, there came a troop of men, horsemen by pairs. And he spoke and said: 'Fallen, fallen is Babylon; and all the graven images of her gods are broken unto the ground.' | |
| Isai | JPS | 21:10 | O thou my threshing, and the winnowing of my floor, that which I have heard from HaShem of hosts, the G-d of Israel, have I declared unto you. | |
| Isai | JPS | 21:11 | The burden of Dumah. One calleth unto me out of Seir: 'Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night?' | |
| Isai | JPS | 21:12 | The watchman said: 'The morning cometh, and also the night--if ye will inquire, inquire ye; return, come.' | |
| Isai | JPS | 21:13 | The burden upon Arabia. In the thickets in Arabia shall ye lodge, O ye caravans of Dedanites. | |
| Isai | JPS | 21:14 | Unto him that is thirsty bring ye water! The inhabitants of the land of Tema did meet the fugitive with his bread. | |
| Isai | JPS | 21:15 | For they fled away from the swords, from the drawn sword, and from the bent bow, and from the grievousness of war. | |
| Isai | JPS | 21:16 | For thus hath the L-rd said unto me: 'Within a year, according to the years of a hireling, and all the glory of Kedar shall fail; | |
