[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.”
King James Version
[1] The burden H4853 of the desert H4057 of the sea. H3220As whirlwinds H5492 in the south H5045 pass H2498 through; so it cometh H935 from the desert, H4057 from a terrible H3372 land. H776 [2] A grievous H7186§ vision H2380 is declared H5046 unto me; the treacherous dealer H898 dealeth treacherously, H898 and the spoiler H7703 spoileth. H7703 Go up, H5927 O Elam: H5867 besiege, H6696 O Media; H4074 all H3605 the sighing H585 thereof have I made to cease. H7673 [3] Therefore are my loins H4975 filled H4390 with pain: H2479 pangs H6735 have taken hold H270 upon H5921 me, as the pangs H6735 of a woman that travaileth: H3205 I was bowed down H5753 at the hearing H8085 of it; I was dismayed H926 at the seeing H7200 of it. [4] My heart H3824 panted, H8582§ fearfulness H6427 affrighted H1204 H853 me: the night H5399 of my pleasure H2837 hath he turned H7760§ into fear H2731 unto me. [5] Prepare H6186 the table, H7979 watch H6822 in the watchtower, H6844 eat, H398 drink: H8354 arise, H6965 ye princes, H8269 and anoint H4886 the shield. H4043 [6] For H3588 thus H3541 hath the Lord H136 said H559 unto H413 me, Go, H3212 set H5975 a watchman, H6822 let him declare H5046 what he seeth. H7200 [7] And he saw H7200 a chariot H7393 with a couple H6776 of horsemen, H6571 a chariot H7393 of asses, H2543 and a chariot H7393 of camels; H1581 and he hearkened H7181 diligently H7182 with much H7227 heed: H7182 [8] and he cried, H7121 A lion: H738§ My lord, H136 I stand H5975 continually H8548 upon H5921 the watchtower H4707 in the daytime, H3119 and I am set H5324 in my ward H4931 whole nights: H3915§ [9] and, behold, here cometh H935 a chariot H7393 of men, H376 with a couple H6776 of horsemen. H6571 And he answered H6030 and said, H559 Babylon H894 is fallen, H5307 is fallen; H5307 and all the graven images H6456 of her gods H430 he hath broken H7665 unto the ground. H776 [10] O my threshing, H4098 and the corn H1121§ of my floor: H1637 that which I have heard H8085 of the Lord H3068 of hosts, H6635 the God H430 of Israel, H3478 have I declared H5046 unto you.

Dumah

[11] The burden H4853 of Dumah. H1746He calleth H7121 to me out of Seir, H8165 Watchman, H8104 what H4100 of the night? H3915 Watchman, H8104 what H4100 of the night? H3915 [12] The watchman H8104 said, H559 The morning H1242 cometh, H857 and also the night: H3915 if ye will enquire, H1158 enquire H1158 ye: return, H7725 come. H857

Arabia

[13] The burden H4853 upon Arabia. H6152In the forest H3293 in Arabia H6152 shall ye lodge, H3885 O ye travelling companies H736 of Dedanim. H1720 [14] The inhabitants H3427 of the land H776 of Tema H8485 brought H857§ water H4325 to him H7125 that was thirsty, H6771 they prevented H6923 with their bread H3899 him that fled. H5074 [15] For H3588 they fled H5074 from H6440 the swords, H2719 from H6440 the drawn H5203 sword, H2719§ and from H6440 the bent H1869 bow, H7198 and from H6440 the grievousness H3514 of war. H4421 [16] For H3588 thus H3541 hath the Lord H136 said H559 unto H413 me, Within a year, H8141 according to the years H8141 of an hireling, H7916 and all the glory H3519 of Kedar H6938 shall fail: H3615 [17] and the residue H7605 of the number H4557 of archers, H7198§ the mighty men H1368 of the children H1121 of Kedar, H6938 shall be diminished: H4591 for H3588 the Lord H3068 God H430 of Israel H3478 hath spoken H1696 it.

[1] Τὸ G3588 ὅραμα G3705 τῆς G3588 ἐρήμου. G2048 Ὡς G5613 καταιγὶς δι’ G1223 ἐρήμου G2048 διέλθοι G1330 ἐξ G1537 ἐρήμου G2048 ἐρχομένη G2064 ἐκ G1537 γῆς, G1093 φοβερὸν G5398 [2] τὸ G3588 ὅραμα G3705 καὶ G2532 σκληρὸν G4642 ἀνηγγέλη G312 μοι. G3427 Ὁ G3588 ἀθετῶν G114 ἀθετεῖ, G114 ὁ G3588 ἀνομῶν ἀνομεῖ. Ἐπ’ G1909 ἐμοὶ G1699 οἱ G3588 Αιλαμῖται, καὶ G2532 οἱ G3588 πρέσβεις τῶν G3588 Περσῶν ἐπ’ G1909 ἐμὲ G1691 ἔρχονται. G2064 Νῦν G3568 στενάξω G4727 καὶ G2532 παρακαλέσω G3870 ἐμαυτόν. G1683 [3] Διὰ G1223 τοῦτο G5124 ἐνεπλήσθη G1705 ἡ G3588 ὀσφύς G3751 μου G3450 ἐκλύσεως, καὶ G2532 ὠδῖνες G5604 ἔλαβόν G2983 με G3165 ὡς G5613 τὴν G3588 τίκτουσαν· G5088 ἠδίκησα G91 τὸ G3588 μὴ G3361 ἀκοῦσαι, G191 ἐσπούδασα G4704 τὸ G3588 μὴ G3361 βλέπειν. G991 [4] Ἡ G3588 καρδία G2588 μου G3450 πλανᾶται, G4105 καὶ G2532 ἡ G3588 ἀνομία G458 με G3165 βαπτίζει, G907 ἡ G3588 ψυχή G5590 μου G3450 ἐφέστηκεν G2186 εἰς G1519 φόβον. G5401 [5] Ἑτοίμασον G2090 τὴν G3588 τράπεζαν· G5132 πίετε, G4095 φάγετε· G5315 ἀναστάντες, G450 οἱ G3588 ἄρχοντες, G758 ἑτοιμάσατε G2090 θυρεούς. G2375 [6] Ὅτι G3754 οὕτως G3779 εἶπεν G2036 κύριος G2962 πρός G4314 με G3165 Βαδίσας σεαυτῷ G4572 στῆσον G2476 σκοπὸν G4649 καὶ G2532 ὃ G3739 ἂν G302 ἴδῃς G1492 ἀνάγγειλον· G312 [7] καὶ G2532 εἶδον G1492 ἀναβάτας ἱππεῖς G2460 δύο, G1417 ἀναβάτην ὄνου G3688 καὶ G2532 ἀναβάτην καμήλου. G2574 Ἀκρόασαι ἀκρόασιν πολλὴν G4183 [8] καὶ G2532 κάλεσον G2564 Ουριαν G3774 εἰς G1519 τὴν G3588 σκοπιὰν κυρίου. G2962 Καὶ G2532 εἶπεν G2036 Ἔστην G2476 διὰ G1223 παντὸς G3956 ἡμέρας G2250 καὶ G2532 ἐπὶ G1909 τῆς G3588 παρεμβολῆς G3925 ἔστην G2476 ὅλην G3650 τὴν G3588 νύκτα, G3571 [9] καὶ G2532 ἰδοὺ G2400 αὐτὸς G846 ἔρχεται G2064 ἀναβάτης συνωρίδος. Καὶ G2532 ἀποκριθεὶς G611 εἶπεν G2036 Πέπτωκεν G4098 Βαβυλών, G897 καὶ G2532 πάντα G3956 τὰ G3588 ἀγάλματα αὐτῆς G846 καὶ G2532 τὰ G3588 χειροποίητα G5499 αὐτῆς G846 συνετρίβησαν G4937 εἰς G1519 τὴν G3588 γῆν. G1093 [10] Ἀκούσατε, G191 οἱ G3588 καταλελειμμένοι G2641 καὶ G2532 οἱ G3588 ὀδυνώμενοι, G3600 ἀκούσατε G191 ἃ G3739 ἤκουσα G191 παρὰ G3844 κυρίου G2962 σαβαωθ· G4519 ὁ G3588 θεὸς G2316 τοῦ G3588 Ισραηλ G2474 ἀνήγγειλεν G312 ἡμῖν. G2254 [11] Τὸ G3588 ὅραμα G3705 τῆς G3588 Ιδουμαίας. G2401 Πρὸς G4314 ἐμὲ G1691 καλεῖ G2564 παρὰ G3844 τοῦ G3588 Σηιρ Φυλάσσετε G5442 ἐπάλξεις. [12] Φυλάσσω G5442 τὸ G3588 πρωῒ G4404 καὶ G2532 τὴν G3588 νύκτα· G3571 ἐὰν G1437 ζητῇς, G2212 ζήτει G2212 καὶ G2532 παρ’ G3844 ἐμοὶ G1699 οἴκει· G3611 [13] ἐν G1722 τῷ G3588 δρυμῷ ἑσπέρας G2073 κοιμηθήσῃ G2837 ἐν G1722 τῇ G3588 ὁδῷ G3598 Δαιδαν. [14] Εἰς G1519 συνάντησιν G4877 διψῶντι G1372 ὕδωρ G5204 φέρετε, G5342 οἱ G3588 ἐνοικοῦντες G1774 ἐν G1722 χώρᾳ G5561 Θαιμαν, ἄρτοις G740 συναντᾶτε G4876 τοῖς G3588 φεύγουσιν G5343 [15] διὰ G1223 τὸ G3588 πλῆθος G4128 τῶν G3588 φευγόντων G5343 καὶ G2532 διὰ G1223 τὸ G3588 πλῆθος G4128 τῶν G3588 πλανωμένων G4105 καὶ G2532 διὰ G1223 τὸ G3588 πλῆθος G4128 τῆς G3588 μαχαίρας G3162 καὶ G2532 διὰ G1223 τὸ G3588 πλῆθος G4128 τῶν G3588 τοξευμάτων τῶν G3588 διατεταμένων καὶ G2532 διὰ G1223 τὸ G3588 πλῆθος G4128 τῶν G3588 πεπτωκότων G4098 ἐν G1722 τῷ G3588 πολέμῳ. G4171 [16] Ὅτι G3754 οὕτως G3779 εἶπέν G2036 μοι G3427 κύριος G2962 Ἔτι G2089 ἐνιαυτὸς G1763 ὡς G5613 ἐνιαυτὸς G1763 μισθωτοῦ, G3411 ἐκλείψει G1587 ἡ G3588 δόξα G1391 τῶν G3588 υἱῶν G5207 Κηδαρ, [17] καὶ G2532 τὸ G3588 κατάλοιπον G2645 τῶν G3588 τοξευμάτων τῶν G3588 ἰσχυρῶν G2478 υἱῶν G5207 Κηδαρ ἔσται G2071 ὀλίγον, G3641 διότι G1360 κύριος G2962 ἐλάλησεν G2980 ὁ G3588 θεὸς G2316 Ισραηλ.
