Go up, O Elam, besiege, O Media, All its sighing I have caused to cease. 3Therefore filled have been my loins with great pain, Pangs have seized me as pangs of a travailing woman, I have been bent down by hearing, I have been troubled by seeing. 4Wandered hath my heart, trembling hath terrified me, The twilight of my desire He hath made a fear to me, 5Arrange the table, watch in the watch-tower, Eat, drink, rise, ye heads, anoint the shield, 6For thus said the Lord unto me: `Go, station the watchman, That which he seeth let him declare.' 7And he hath seen a chariot--a couple of horsemen, The rider of an ass, the rider of a camel, And he hath given attention--He hath increased attention! 8And he crieth--a lion, `On a watch-tower my lord, I am standing continually by day, And on my ward I am stationed whole nights. 9And lo, this, the chariot of a man is coming, A couple of horsemen.' And he answereth and saith: `Fallen, fallen hath Babylon, And all the graven images of her gods He hath broken to the earth. 10O my threshing, and the son of my floor, That which I heard from Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, I have declared to you!' 11The burden of Dumah. Unto me is one calling from Seir `Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night?' 12The watchman hath said, `Come hath morning, and also night, If ye inquire, inquire ye, turn back, come.' 13The burden on Arabia. In a forest in Arabia ye lodge, O travellers of Dedanim. 14To meet the thirsty brought water have Inhabitants of the land of Tema, With his bread they came before a fugitive. 15For from the face of destructions they fled, From the face of a stretched-out sword, And from the face of a trodden bow, And from the face of the grievousness of battle. 16For thus said the Lord unto me: `Within a year, as years of a hireling, Consumed hath been all the honour of Kedar. 17And the remnant of the number of bow-men, The mighty of the sons of Kedar are few, For Jehovah, God of Israel, hath spoken!' ‹Previous chapterIsaiah 20Next chapterIsaiah 22›Similar passagesBy tradition and source labelFind similarCompare selectedCompare with similarAsk Deep ThoughtSelect passages to search for parallels.VersionsIsaiah 21 across 9 versionsShow all 9WEB - World English BibleKJV - King James VersionASV - American Standard VersionDarby - Darby BibleYLT - Young's Literal TranslationWebster - Webster BibleGeneva - Geneva BibleDouay - Douay-Rheims ChallonerRV1909 - Reina-Valera 1909Tap any verse to select it, then compare selected passages or ask Deep Thought.
