Isaiah 21:11-17 Revised Version 1885 (RV1885)

11. The burden of Dumah. One calleth unto me out of Seir, Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night?

12. The watchman said, The morning cometh, and also the night: if ye will inquire, inquire ye: turn ye, come.

13. The burden upon Arabia. In the forest in Arabia shall ye lodge, O ye travelling companies of Dedanites.

14. Unto him that was thirsty they brought water; the inhabitants of the land of Tema did meet the fugitives with their bread.

15. For they fled away from the swords, from the drawn sword, and from the bent bow, and from the grievousness of war.

16. For thus hath the Lord said unto me, Within a year, according to the years of an hireling, and all the glory of Kedar shall fail:

17. and the residue of the number of the archers, the mighty men of the children of Kedar, shall be few: for the Lord, the God of Israel, hath spoken it.
