1The burden of the wilderness of the sea.
As whirlwinds in the South sweep through, it comes from the wilderness, from an awesome land.
2A grievous vision is declared to me. The treacherous one deals treacherously, and the destroyer destroys. Go up, Elam; attack! I have stopped all of Media’s sighing.
3Therefore 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.
4My heart flutters. Horror has frightened me. The twilight that I desired has been turned into trembling for me.
5They prepare the table. They set the watch. They eat. They drink. Y’all rise up, princes, oil the shield!
6For the Lord said to me, “Go, set a watchman. Let him declare what he sees.
7When he sees a troop, horsemen in pairs, a troop of donkeys, a troop of camels, he must listen carefully with great attentiveness.”
8He cried like a lion: “Lord, I stand continually on the watchtower in the daytime, and every night I stay at my post.
9Look! 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.
10My threshed people, crushed on the floor!” What I have heard from YHWH Almighty, the God of Israel, I have declared to y’all.
11The burden of Dumah.
One calls to me out of Seir, “Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night?”
12The watchman said, “The morning comes, and also the night. If y’all want to ask, then y’all must inquire. Y’all must come back again.”
13The burden on Arabia:
In the thickets in Arabia, Y’all will lodge, O caravans of Dedanites.
14Y’all are to bring brought water for the thirsty. The inhabitants of the land of Tema met the fugitives with their bread.
15For they fled away from the swords, from the drawn sword, from the bent bow, and from the heat of battle.
16For the Lord said to me, “Within a year, as a worker bound by contract would count it, all the glory of Kedar will fail,
17and the residue of the number of the archers, the mighty men of the children of Kedar, will be few; for YHWH, the God of Israel, has spoken it.”
