Isaiah 21

Revised Standard Version RSV

1 The oracle concerning the wilderness of the sea. As whirlwinds in the Negeb sweep on, it comes from the desert, from a terrible land.

2 A stern vision is told to me; the plunderer plunders, and the destroyer destroys. Go up, O Elam, lay siege, O Media; all the sighing she has caused I bring to an end.

3 Therefore my loins are filled with anguish; pangs have seized me, like the pangs of a woman in travail; I am bowed down so that I cannot hear, I am dismayed so that I cannot see.

4 My mind reels, horror has appalled me; the twilight I longed for has been turned for me into trembling.

5 They prepare the table, they spread the rugs, they eat, they drink. Arise, O princes, oil the shield!

6 For thus the Lord said to me: "Go, set a watchman, let him announce what he sees.

7 When he sees riders, horsemen in pairs, riders on asses, riders on camels, let him listen diligently, very diligently."

8 Then he who saw cried: "Upon a watchtower I stand, O Lord, continually by day, and at my post I am stationed whole nights.

9 And, behold, here come riders, horsemen in pairs!" And he answered, "Fallen, fallen is Babylon; and all the images of her gods he has shattered to the ground."

10 O my threshed and winnowed one, what I have heard from the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, I announce to you.

11 The oracle concerning Dumah. One is calling to me from Se'ir, "Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night?"

12 The watchman says: "Morning comes, and also the night. If you will inquire, inquire; come back again."

13 The oracle concerning Arabia. In the thickets in Arabia you will lodge, O caravans of De'danites.

14 To the thirsty bring water, meet the fugitive with bread, O inhabitants of the land of Tema.

15 For they have fled from the swords, from the drawn sword, from the bent bow, and from the press of battle.

16 For thus the Lord said to me, "Within a year, according to the years of a hireling, all the glory of Kedar will come to an end;

17 and the remainder of the archers of the mighty men of the sons of Kedar will be few; for the LORD, the God of Israel, has spoken."

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
