Berean Standard Bible
The burden of
the wilderness
of
the sea .
`
Like hurricanes
in
the
south
for
passing
through, From the wilderness
it
hath
come
, From a fearful
land.
This
is
the burden against
the Desert
by
the Sea :
Like whirlwinds
sweeping
through the
Negev
, an
invader
comes
from the desert
, from a land of
terror
.
A hard
vision hath
been
declared to me ,
The treacherous
dealer
is
dealing
treacherously
, And the destroyer is
destroying
. Go up, O Elam ,
besiege
, O Media ,
All
its
sighing
I have
caused
to cease
.
A dire
vision is
declared to me :
“
The traitor
still
betrays
, and the destroyer still
destroys
. Go up, O Elam !
Lay
siege
, O Media !
I will
put
an
end
to all
her
groaning
. ”
Therefore 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
.
Therefore my body
is
filled
with anguish.
Pain grips
me ,
like
the
pains
of a woman in
labor.
I am
bewildered
to
hear
, I am
dismayed
to
see
.
Wandered
hath
my heart ,
trembling
hath
terrified
me ,
The twilight of my desire He
hath
made
a
fear
to me,
My heart falters;
fear
makes
me tremble.
The twilight of my desire has
turned
to horror.
Arrange
the
table, watch
in
the
watch-tower
, Eat, drink ,
rise, ye
heads
, anoint
the shield,
They
prepare
a
table, they
lay
out
a
carpet
, they
eat, they
drink !
Rise up
, O
princes
, oil
the shields!
For thus
said
the Lord unto
me: `
Go, station
the
watchman,
That
which
he
seeth
let
him declare
. '
For this
is
what
the Lord says
to
me: “
Go, post
a
lookout
and
have
him report
what
he
sees
.
And
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!
When
he sees
chariots
with
teams
of horsemen, riders
on
donkeys
, riders
on
camels
, he must
be
alert,
fully
alert.”
And
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
.
Then
the
lookout
shouted:
“Day
after
day
, my lord, I stand
on the
watchtower;
night
after
night
I stay
at
my
post
.
And
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.
Look
, here
come
the riders
, horsemen in
pairs
. ”
And one
answered,
saying
: “
Fallen, fallen is
Babylon !
All the images of her gods lie
shattered
on
the ground!”
O my threshing
, and
the son
of
my
floor, That
which
I heard from Jehovah
of Hosts, God of Israel ,
I
have
declared
to
you!'
O my people
, crushed
on
the threshing
floor, I tell
you
what
I
have
heard from the
LORD
of Hosts, the
God of Israel .
The burden of
Dumah .
Unto
me
is
`
one '
calling
from Seir `
Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night? '
This
is
the burden against
Dumah :
One calls
to
me
from Seir ,
“
Watchman, what is
left
of the night? Watchman, what is
left
of the night? ”
The watchman hath
said
, `Come
hath
morning, and
also night ,
If ye
inquire, inquire ye,
turn
back,
come. '
The watchman replies
, “
Morning has
come
, but
also the
night .
If you
would
inquire, then
inquire .
Come back
yet
again
. ”
The burden on
Arabia .
In
a
forest
in Arabia ye
lodge, O travellers
of Dedanim
.
This
is
the burden against
Arabia :
In the
thickets
of
Arabia you
must
lodge, O caravans
of Dedanites
.
To
meet
the
thirsty
brought
water have
Inhabitants
of
the land
of Tema ,
With his
bread
they
came
before
a
fugitive
.
Bring
water for
the thirsty,
O
dwellers
of Tema ;
meet
the
refugees
with food
.
For 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.
For they flee
from the sword —
the
sword
that
is
drawn—
from the bow that
is
bent
, and from the stress
of battle.
For thus
said
the Lord unto
me: `
Within a
year, as years
of
a hireling
, Consumed
hath
been
all the honour
of Kedar.
For this
is
what
the Lord says
to
me: “
Within one
year, as a hired
worker
would
count
it
, all the glory
of Kedar will
be
gone
.
And
the remnant
of
the
number
of
bow-men
, The mighty
of
the
sons
of Kedar are
few
, For Jehovah
, God of Israel, hath
spoken !'
The remaining
archers
, the warriors
of Kedar, will
be
few.”
For the
LORD
, the
God of Israel, has
spoken .
