Book of Isaiah
capítulo 21
verso 1
The burden of the wilderness of the sea. As whirlwinds in the South sweep through, it comes from the wilderness, from an awesome land.
verso 2
A grievous vision is declared to me. The treacherous man deals treacherously, and the destroyer destroys. Go up, Elam; attack! I have stopped all of Media’s sighing.
verso 3
Therefore my thighs are filled with anguish. Pains have seized me, like the pains of a woman in labor. I am in so much pain that I can’t hear. I am so dismayed that I can’t see.
verso 4
My heart flutters. Horror has frightened me. The twilight that I desired has been turned into trembling for me.
verso 5
They prepare the table. They set the watch. They eat. They drink. Rise up, you princes, oil the shield!
verso 6
For the Lord said to me, “Go, set a watchman. Let him declare what he sees.
verso 7
When he sees a troop, horsemen in pairs, a troop of donkeys, a troop of camels, he shall listen diligently with great attentiveness.”
verso 8
He cried like a lion: “Lord, I stand continually on the watchtower in the daytime, and every night I stay at my post.
verso 9
Behold, here comes a troop of men, horsemen in pairs.” He answered, “Fallen, fallen is Babylon; and all the engraved images of her gods are broken to the ground.
verso 10
You are my threshing, and the grain of my floor!” That which I have heard from Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, I have declared to you.
verso 11
The burden of Dumah. One calls to me out of Seir, “Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night?”
verso 12
The watchman said, “The morning comes, and also the night. If you will inquire, inquire. Come back again.”
verso 13
The burden on Arabia. You will lodge in the thickets in Arabia, you caravans of Dedanites.
verso 14
They brought water to him who was thirsty. The inhabitants of the land of Tema met the fugitives with their bread.
verso 15
For they fled away from the swords, from the drawn sword, from the bent bow, and from the heat of battle.
verso 16
For the Lord said to me, “Within a year, as a worker bound by contract would count it, all the glory of Kedar will fail,
verso 17
and the residue of the number of the archers, the mighty men of the children of Kedar, will be few; for Yahweh, the God of Israel, has spoken it.”
