Isaias

12 The watchman said, Morning cometh, and also night. If ye will inquire, inquire ye; return, come.

13 The burden upon Arabia.

In the forest in Arabia shall ye lodge, ye caravans of Dedanim.

14 Bring ye water, to meet him that is thirsty; the inhabitants of the land of Tema welcome the fugitive with his bread.

15 For they are fugitives from the face of the swords, from the face of the drawn sword, and of the bent bow, and of the weight of war.

16 For thus hath the Lord said unto me, Within a year, as the years of a hireling, and all the glory of Kedar shall be consumed;

17 And the remnant of the number of bows, the mighty men of the sons of Kedar, shall be few; for the Lord, the God of Israel, hath spoken it.

1 What aileth thee, then, that thou art gone up, all of thee, to the house tops?

2 She is filled with tumult, an uproarious city, a jubilant town; thy smitten ones are not smitten with the sword, nor dead in battle.

3 All thy rulers are fled together; without the bow they are made captive; all that are found of thee are made captive, they fled afar off

4 Therefore I said, Look away from me, I will weep bitterly; press not to comfort me, for the destruction of the daughter of my people.

5 For the Lord God of Hosts hath a day of discomfiture, and treading down, and perplexity, in the valley of vision; digging down the wall, and a cry (goeth) to the mountain.

6 And Elam bare a quiver, with troops of men and horsemen, and Kir uncovered the shield.
