Isaiah 21:13-17

13 The oracle about 1Arabia. In the thickets of Arabia you must spend the night, O caravans of 2Dedanites.
14 Bring water for the thirsty, O inhabitants of the land of 3Tema, Meet the fugitive with bread.
15 For they have 4fled from the swords, From the drawn sword, and from the bent bow And from the press of battle.
16 For thus the Lord said to me, "In a 5year, as a hired man would count it, all the splendor of 6Kedar will terminate;
17 and the 7remainder of the number of bowmen, the mighty men of the sons of Kedar, will be few; for the LORD God of Israel 8has spoken."
