Isaiah 21

1A declaration about the desert by the sea. 2A distressing vision has been given to me: 3Therefore my loins are filled with pain; 4My heart pounds; I shake with fear. 5They prepare the table, they spread rugs and eat and drink; 6For this is what the Lord said to me, 7When he sees a chariot, a pair of horsemen, 8The watchman cries out, Instead of The watchman cries out , some older versions have A lion cries out . 9Here comes a chariot with a man and a pair of horsemen. 10My threshed and winnowed ones, children of my threshing floor! 11A declaration about Dumah. 12The watchman said, “The morning comes and also the night. 13A declaration about Arabia. 14Bring water for the thirsty; 15For they have fled from the sword, from the drawn sword, 16For this is what the Lord said to me, “Within a year, as a laborer hired for a year would see it, all the glory of Kedar will end.
