Chapter 21
| Isai | Rotherha | 21:1 | The oracle on the desert of the sea: As storm-winds in the South which with a rush from the desert, do come from a terrible land, | |
| Isai | Rotherha | 21:2 | [So] hath, a grievous vision, been told me:—the deceiver, is deceiving. And the spoiler, is spoiling, Go up, O Elam Besiege O Media, All the sighing she hath caused, have I made to cease. | |
| Isai | Rotherha | 21:3 | For this cause, are my loins filled with anguish, Pangs, have seized me, as the pangs of her that is giving birth,—I writhe so that I cannot hear, I tremble, so that I cannot see: | |
| Isai | Rotherha | 21:4 | My heart fluttereth, A horror, terrifieth me,—My twilight of pleasure, hath he turned for me into a time of trembling. | |
| Isai | Rotherha | 21:5 | [Ye thought] to prepare the table—spread the mat—eat—drink! …Arise ye chieftains anoint the shield! | |
| Isai | Rotherha | 21:6 | For, thus, hath My Lord said unto me,—Go, set the watchman, What he seeth, let him tell! | |
| Isai | Rotherha | 21:7 | When he seeth A train of horsemen in double rank, A train of asses, A train of camels, Then shall he hearken attentively with diligent heed. | |
| Isai | Rotherha | 21:8 | Then cried he. A lion! On the watch, O My Lord, had I been standing continually, by day, And at my post, had I been stationed whole nights;— | |
| Isai | Rotherha | 21:9 | When lo! here was a train of men coming. With horsemen in double rank,—And one began and said, Fallen! fallen! is Babylon, And all the images of her gods, are smashed to the ground! | |
| Isai | Rotherha | 21:10 | O thou My threshing! And the grain of my corn-floor! That which I have heard from Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel, Have I declared, unto you. | |
| Isai | Rotherha | 21:11 | The oracle on Dumah: Unto me, is one crying—out of Seir, Watchman! how far gone is the night? Watchman, how far gone is the night? | |
| Isai | Rotherha | 21:12 | Said the watchman, There cometh a morning. But also a night,—If ye will enquire, enquire, ye—Come, again! | |
| Isai | Rotherha | 21:13 | The oracle on Arabia,—Among the shrubs in Arabia, must ye lodge, Ye caravans of Dedanites. | |
| Isai | Rotherha | 21:14 | To meet the thirsty, bring ye water,—Ye dwellers in the land of Tema; With bread for him, get in advance of him that is in flight! | |
| Isai | Rotherha | 21:15 | For, before swords, have they fled: Before a sword that is drawn, Before a bow that is bent, And before the stress of war. | |
| Isai | Rotherha | 21:16 | For, thus, hath My Lord said unto me,—Within a year according to the yearn of a hireling, shall fail all the glory of Kedar; | |
