Isaiah 21:13-17

God Commands That Babylon Be Taken

¹³The pronouncement about Arabia: In the thickets of Arabia you must spend the night, You caravans of Dedanites.

¹⁴Bring water for the thirsty, You inhabitants of the land of Tema; Meet the fugitive with bread.

¹⁵For they have fled from the swords, From the drawn sword, and from the bent bow, And from the press of battle.

¹⁶For this is what the Lord said to me: “In a year, as a hired worker would count it, all the splendor of Kedar will come to an end; ¹⁷and the remainder of the number of bowmen, the warriors of the sons of Kedar, will be few; for the Lord God of Israel has spoken.”
