21:1 The burden 4853 of the desert 4057 of the sea 3220. As whirlwinds 5492 in the south 5045 pass 2498 8800 through; [so] it cometh 935 8802 from the desert 4057, from a terrible 3372 8737 land 776.

21:2 A grievous 7186 vision 2380 is declared 5046 8717 unto me; the treacherous dealer 898 8802 dealeth treacherously 898 8802, and the spoiler 7703 8802 spoileth 7703 8802. Go up 5927 8798, O Elam 5867: besiege 6696 8798, O Media 4074; all the sighing 585 thereof have I made to cease 7673 8689.(grievous: Heb. hard)

21:3 Therefore are my loins 4975 filled 4390 8804 with pain 2479: pangs 6735 have taken hold 270 8804 upon me, as the pangs 6735 of a woman that travaileth 3205 8802: I was bowed down 5753 8738 at the hearing 8085 8800 [of it]; I was dismayed 926 8738 at the seeing 7200 8800 [of it].

21:4 My heart 3824 panted 8582 8804, fearfulness 6427 affrighted 1204 8765 me: the night 5399 of my pleasure 2837 hath he turned 7760 8804 into fear 2731 unto me.(heart…: or, mind wandered)(turned: Heb. put)

21:5 Prepare 6186 8800 the table 7979, watch 6822 8800 in the watchtower 6844, eat 398 8800, drink 8354 8800: arise 6965 8798, ye princes 8269, [and] anoint 4886 8798 the shield 4043.

21:6 For thus hath the Lord 136 said 559 8804 unto me, Go 3212 8798, set 5975 8685 a watchman 6822 8764, let him declare 5046 8686 what he seeth 7200 8799.

21:7 And he saw 7200 8804 a chariot 7393 [with] a couple 6776 of horsemen 6571, a chariot 7393 of asses 2543, [and] a chariot 7393 of camels 1581; and he hearkened 7181 8689 diligently 7182 with much 7227 heed 7182:

21:8 And he cried 7121 8799, A lion 738: My lord 136, I stand 5975 8802 continually 8548 upon the watchtower 4707 in the daytime 3119, and I am set 5324 8737 in my ward 4931 whole nights 3915:(he…: or, cried as a lion)(whole…: or, every night)

21:9 And, behold, here cometh 935 8802 a chariot 7393 of men 376, [with] a couple 6776 of horsemen 6571. And he answered 6030 8799 and said 559 8799, Babylon 894 is fallen 5307 8804, is fallen 5307 8804; and all the graven images 6456 of her gods 430 he hath broken 7665 8765 unto the ground 776.

21:10 O my threshing 4098, and the corn 1121 of my floor 1637: that which I have heard 8085 8804 of the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635, the God 430 of Israel 3478, have I declared 5046 8689 unto you.(corn: Heb. son)

21:11 The burden 4853 of Dumah 1746. He calleth 7121 8802 to me out of Seir 8165, Watchman 8104 8802, what of the night 3915? Watchman 8104 8802, what of the night 3915?

21:12 The watchman 8104 8802 said 559 8804, The morning 1242 cometh 857 8804, and also the night 3915: if ye will enquire 1158 8799, enquire 1158 8798 ye: return 7725 8798, come 857 8798.

21:13 The burden 4853 upon Arabia 6152. In the forest 3293 in Arabia 6152 shall ye lodge 3885 8799, O ye travelling companies 736 of Dedanim 1720.

21:14 The inhabitants 3427 8802 of the land 776 of Tema 8485 brought 857 8689 water 4325 to him 7125 8800 that was thirsty 6771, they prevented 6923 8765 with their bread 3899 him that fled 5074 8802.(brought: or, bring ye)

21:15 For they fled 5074 8804 from 6440 the swords 2719, from 6440 the drawn 5203 8803 sword 2719, and from 6440 the bent 1869 8803 bow 7198, and from 6440 the grievousness 3514 of war 4421.(from the swords: or, for fear, etc: Heb. from the face, etc)

21:16 For thus hath the Lord 136 said 559 8804 unto me, Within a year 8141, according to the years 8141 of an hireling 7916, and all the glory 3519 of Kedar 6938 shall fail 3615 8804:

21:17 And the residue 7605 of the number 4557 of archers 7198, the mighty men 1368 of the children 1121 of Kedar 6938, shall be diminished 4591 8799: for the LORD 3068 God 430 of Israel 3478 hath spoken 1696 8765 [it].(archers: Heb. bows)
