11 The burden of Dumah. [One] is calling to me from Seir, “Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night?” 12 The watchman has said, “Morning has come, and also night, || If you inquire, inquire, return, come.” 13 The burden on Arabia. You lodge in a forest in Arabia, || O caravans of Dedanim. 14 Inhabitants of the land of Tema || Have brought water to meet the thirsty, || With his bread they came before a fugitive. 15 For they fled from the face of destructions, || From the face of an outstretched sword, || And from the face of a trodden bow, || And from the face of the grievousness of battle. 16 For thus said the Lord to me: “Within a year, as years of a hired worker, || All the glory of Kedar has been consumed. 17 And the remnant of the number of bow-men, || The mighty of the sons of Kedar, are few, || For YHWH, God of Israel, has spoken!” Isaiah 21:11-17, Literal Standard Version.
