World English Bible Classic
[1] The burden of the wilderness of the sea.As whirlwinds in the South sweep through, it comes from the wilderness, from an awesome land. [2] A grievous vision is declared to me. The treacherous man deals treacherously, and the destroyer destroys. Go up, Elam; attack! I have stopped all of Media’s sighing. [3] Therefore my thighs are filled with anguish. Pains have seized me, like the pains of a woman in labor. I am in so much pain that I can’t hear. I am so dismayed that I can’t see. [4] My heart flutters. Horror has frightened me. The twilight that I desired has been turned into trembling for me. [5] They prepare the table. They set the watch. They eat. They drink. Rise up, you princes, oil the shield! [6] For the Lord said to me, “Go, set a watchman. Let him declare what he sees. [7] When he sees a troop, horsemen in pairs, a troop of donkeys, a troop of camels, he shall listen diligently with great attentiveness.” [8] He cried like a lion: “Lord, I stand continually on the watchtower in the daytime, and every night I stay at my post. [9] Behold, here comes a troop of men, horsemen in pairs.” He answered, “Fallen, fallen is Babylon; and all the engraved images of her gods are broken to the ground. [10] You are my threshing, and the grain of my floor!” That which I have heard from Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, I have declared to you. [11] The burden of Dumah.One calls to me out of Seir, “Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night?” [12] The watchman said, “The morning comes, and also the night. If you will inquire, inquire. Come back again.” [13] The burden on Arabia.You will lodge in the thickets in Arabia, you caravans of Dedanites. [14] They brought water to him who was thirsty. The inhabitants of the land of Tema met the fugitives with their bread. [15] For they fled away from the swords, from the drawn sword, from the bent bow, and from the heat of battle. [16] For the Lord said to me, “Within a year, as a worker bound by contract would count it, all the glory of Kedar will fail, [17] and the residue of the number of the archers, the mighty men of the children of Kedar, will be few; for Yahweh, the God of Israel, has spoken it.”

[1] The burdenH4853 of the desertH4057 of the sea.H3220 As whirlwindsH5492 in the southH5045 passH2498(QalInf) through; [so] it comethH935(QalActPtc) from the desert,H4057 from a terribleH3372(NiphPtc) land.H776 [2] A grievousH7186 visionH2380 is declaredH5046(HophPerf) unto me; the treacherous dealerH898(QalActPtc) dealeth treacherously,H898(QalActPtc) and the spoilerH7703(QalActPtc) spoileth.H7703(QalActPtc) Go up,H5927(QalImpv) O Elam:H5867 besiege,H6696(QalImpv) O Media;H4074 all the sighingH585 thereof have I made to cease.H7673(HiphPerf) [3] Therefore are my loinsH4975 filledH4390(QalPerf) with pain:H2479 pangsH6735 have taken holdH270(QalPerf) upon me, as the pangsH6735 of a woman that travaileth:H3205(QalActPtc) I was bowed downH5753(NiphPerf) at the hearingH8085(QalInf) [of it]; I was dismayedH926(NiphPerf) at the seeingH7200(QalInf) [of it]. [4] My heartH3824 panted,H8582(QalPerf) fearfulnessH6427 affrightedH1204(PielPerf) me: the nightH5399 of my pleasureH2837 hath he turnedH7760(QalPerf) into fearH2731 unto me. [5] PrepareH6186(QalInf) the table,H7979 watchH6822(QalInf) in the watchtower,H6844 eat,H398(QalInf) drink:H8354(QalInf) arise,H6965(QalImpv) ye princes,H8269 [and] anointH4886(QalImpv) the shield.H4043 [6] For thus hath the LordH136 saidH559(QalPerf) unto me, Go,H3212(QalImpv) setH5975(HiphImpv) a watchman,H6822(PielPtc) let him declareH5046(HiphImpf) what he seeth.H7200(QalImpf) [7] And he sawH7200(QalPerf) a chariotH7393 [with] a coupleH6776 of horsemen,H6571 a chariotH7393 of asses,H2543 [and] a chariotH7393 of camels;H1581 and he hearkenedH7181(HiphPerf) diligentlyH7182 with muchH7227 heed:H7182 [8] And he cried,H7121(QalImpf) A lion:H738 My lord,H136 I standH5975(QalActPtc) continuallyH8548 upon the watchtowerH4707 in the daytime,H3119 and I am setH5324(NiphPtc) in my wardH4931 whole nights:H3915 [9] And, behold, here comethH935(QalActPtc) a chariotH7393 of men,H376 [with] a coupleH6776 of horsemen.H6571 And he answeredH6030(QalImpf) and said,H559(QalImpf) BabylonH894 is fallen,H5307(QalPerf) is fallen;H5307(QalPerf) and all the graven imagesH6456 of her godsH430 he hath brokenH7665(PielPerf) unto the ground.H776 [10] O my threshing,H4098 and the cornH1121 of my floor:H1637 that which I have heardH8085(QalPerf) of the LordH3068 of hosts,H6635 the GodH430 of Israel,H3478 have I declaredH5046(HiphPerf) unto you. [11] The burdenH4853 of Dumah.H1746 He callethH7121(QalActPtc) to me out of Seir,H8165 Watchman,H8104(QalActPtc) what of the night?H3915 Watchman,H8104(QalActPtc) what of the night?H3915 [12] The watchmanH8104(QalActPtc) said,H559(QalPerf) The morningH1242 cometh,H857(QalPerf) and also the night:H3915 if ye will enquire,H1158(QalImpf) enquireH1158(QalImpv) ye: return,H7725(QalImpv) come.H857(QalImpv) [13] The burdenH4853 upon Arabia.H6152 In the forestH3293 in ArabiaH6152 shall ye lodge,H3885(QalImpf) O ye travelling companiesH736 of Dedanim.H1720 [14] The inhabitantsH3427(QalActPtc) of the landH776 of TemaH8485 broughtH857(HiphPerf) waterH4325 to himH7125(QalInf) that was thirsty,H6771 they preventedH6923(PielPerf) with their breadH3899 him that fled.H5074(QalActPtc) [15] For they fledH5074(QalPerf) fromH6440 the swords,H2719 fromH6440 the drawnH5203(QalPasPtc) sword,H2719 and fromH6440 the bentH1869(QalPasPtc) bow,H7198 and fromH6440 the grievousnessH3514 of war.H4421 [16] For thus hath the LordH136 saidH559(QalPerf) unto me, Within a year,H8141 according to the yearsH8141 of an hireling,H7916 and all the gloryH3519 of KedarH6938 shall fail:H3615(QalPerf) [17] And the residueH7605 of the numberH4557 of archers,H7198 the mighty menH1368 of the childrenH1121 of Kedar,H6938 shall be diminished:H4591(QalImpf) for the LordH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 hath spokenH1696(PielPerf) [it].
