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.
The burden
of the desert
of the sea.
As whirlwinds
in the south
pass
through; [so] it cometh
from the desert,
from a terrible
land.

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.”
A grievous
vision
is declared
unto me; the treacherous dealer
dealeth treacherously,
and the spoiler
spoileth.
Go up,
O Elam:
besiege,
O Media;
all the sighing
thereof have I made to cease.

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.
Therefore are my loins
filled
with pain:
pangs
have taken hold
upon me, as the pangs
of a woman that travaileth:
I was bowed down
at the hearing
[of it]; I was dismayed
at the seeing
[of it].

me: the night

For
this is what
the Lord
says
to me:
“Go,
post
a lookout
and have him report
what
he sees.
For thus hath the Lord
said
unto me, Go,
set
a watchman,
let him declare
what he seeth.

When he sees
chariots
with teams
of horsemen,
riders

riders
on camels,
he must be alert,
fully
alert.”
And he saw
a chariot
[with] a couple
of horsemen,
a chariot
of asses,
[and] a chariot
of camels;
and he hearkened
diligently
with much
heed:

Then the lookout
shouted:
“Day

my lord,
I
stand
on
the watchtower;
night after
night
I
stay
at
my post.
And he cried,
A lion:
My lord,
I stand
continually
upon the watchtower
in the daytime,
and I am set
in my ward
whole nights:

And one answered,
saying:
“Fallen,
fallen is
Babylon!
All
the images
of her gods
lie shattered
on the ground!”
And, behold, here cometh
a chariot
of men,
[with] a couple
of horsemen.
And he answered
and said,
Babylon
is fallen,
is fallen;
and all the graven images
of her gods
he hath broken
unto the ground.

This is the burden
against Dumah:

from Seir,
“Watchman,
what is left

The burden
of Dumah.
He calleth

The watchman
replies,

says

would count it,
all

For thus hath the Lord
said
unto me, Within a year,

The remaining

For
the LORD,

has spoken.
And the residue

of archers,
the mighty men
of the children
of Kedar,
shall be diminished:
for the LORD
God
of Israel
hath spoken
[it].
