13 The burden upon Arabia. In the forest in Arabia shall ye lodge, O ye caravans of Dedanites.
13
A prophecy against Arabia: You caravans of Dedanites, who camp in the thickets of Arabia,
14 Unto him that was thirsty they brought water; the inhabitants of the land of Tema did meet the fugitives with their bread.
14
bring water for the thirsty; you who live in Tema, bring food for the fugitives.
15 For they fled away from the swords, from the drawn sword, and from the bent bow, and from the grievousness of war.
15
They flee from the sword, from the drawn sword, from the bent bow and from the heat of battle.
16 For thus hath the Lord said unto me, Within a year, according to the years of a hireling, all the glory of Kedar shall fail;
16
This is what the Lord says to me: “Within one year, as a servant bound by contract would count it, all the splendor of Kedar will come to an end.
17 and the residue of the number of the archers, the mighty men of the children of Kedar, shall be few; for Jehovah, the God of Israel, hath spoken it.
17
The survivors of the archers, the warriors of Kedar, will be few.” The LORD, the God of Israel, has spoken.
