Isaiah 21

The Message Bible MSG

1 A Message concerning the desert at the sea: As tempests drive through the Negev Desert, coming out of the desert, that terror-filled place,

2 A hard vision is given me: The betrayer betrayed, the plunderer plundered. Attack, Elam! Lay siege, Media! Persians, attack! Attack, Babylon! I'll put an end to all the moaning and groaning.

3 Because of this news I'm doubled up in pain, writhing in pain like a woman having a baby, Baffled by what I hear, undone by what I see.

4 Absolutely stunned, horror-stricken, I had hoped for a relaxed evening, but it has turned into a nightmare.

5 The banquet is spread, the guests reclining in luxurious ease, Eating and drinking, having a good time, and then, "To arms, princes! The fight is on!"

6 The Master told me, "Go, post a lookout. Have him report whatever he spots.

7 When he sees horses and wagons in battle formation, lines of donkeys and columns of camels, Tell him to keep his ear to the ground, note every whisper, every rumor."

8 Just then, the lookout shouted, "I'm at my post, Master, Sticking to my post day after day and all through the night!

9 I watched them come, the horses and wagons in battle formation. I heard them call out the war news in headlines: 'Babylon fallen! Fallen! And all its precious god-idols smashed to pieces on the ground.'"

10 Dear Israel, you've been through a lot, you've been put through the mill. The good news I get from God-of-the-Angel-Armies, the God of Israel, I now pass on to you.

11 A Message concerning Edom: A voice calls to me from the Seir mountains in Edom, "Night watchman! How long till daybreak? How long will this night last?"

12 The night watchman calls back, "Morning's coming, But for now it's still night. If you ask me again, I'll give the same answer."

13 A Message concerning Arabia: You'll have to camp out in the desert badlands, you caravans of Dedanites.

14 Haul water to the thirsty, greet fugitives with bread. Show your desert hospitality, you who live in Tema.

15 The desert's swarming with refugees escaping the horrors of war.

16 The Master told me, "Hang on. Within one year - I'll sign a contract on it! - the arrogant brutality of Kedar, those hooligans of the desert, will be over,

17 nothing much left of the Kedar toughs." The God of Israel says so.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 onus deserti maris sicut turbines ab africo veniunt de deserto venit de terra horribili

2 visio dura nuntiata est mihi qui incredulus est infideliter agit et qui depopulator est vastat ascende Aelam obside Mede omnem gemitum eius cessare feci

3 propterea repleti sunt lumbi mei dolore angustia possedit me sicut angustia parientis corrui cum audirem conturbatus sum cum viderem

4 emarcuit cor meum tenebrae stupefecerunt me Babylon dilecta mea posita est mihi in miraculum

5 pone mensam contemplare in specula comedentes bibentes surgite principes arripite clypeum

6 haec enim dixit mihi Dominus vade et pone speculatorem et quodcumque viderit adnuntiet

7 et vidit currum duorum equitum ascensorem asini et ascensorem cameli et contemplatus est diligenter multo intuitu

8 et clamavit leo super specula Domini ego sum stans iugiter per diem et super custodiam meam ego sum stans totis noctibus

9 ecce iste venit ascensor vir bigae equitum et respondit et dixit cecidit cecidit Babylon et omnia sculptilia deorum eius contrita sunt in terram

10 tritura mea et fili areae meae quae audivi a Domino exercituum Deo Israhel adnuntiavi vobis

11 onus Duma ad me clamat ex Seir custos quid de nocte custos quid de nocte

12 dixit custos venit mane et nox si quaeritis quaerite convertimini venite

13 onus in Arabia in saltu ad vesperam dormietis in semitis Dodanim

14 occurrentes sitienti ferte aquam qui habitatis terram austri cum panibus occurrite fugienti

15 a facie enim gladiorum fugerunt a facie gladii inminentis a facie arcus extenti a facie gravis proelii

16 quoniam haec dicit Dominus ad me adhuc in uno anno quasi in anno mercennarii et auferetur omnis gloria Cedar

17 et reliquiae numeri sagittariorum fortium de filiis Cedar inminuentur Dominus enim Deus Israhel locutus est
