Ésaïe 21

1The burden^H4853 of the wilderness^H4057 of the sea^H3220. As whirlwinds^H5492 in the South^H5045 sweep^H2498 through, it cometh^H935 from the wilderness^H4057, from a terrible^H3372 land^H776. 2A grievous^H7186 vision^H2380 is declared^H5046 unto me; the treacherous man^H898 dealeth treacherously^H898, and the destroyer^H7703 destroyeth^H7703. Go up^H5927, O Elam^H5867; besiege^H6696, O Media^H4074; all the sighing^H585 thereof have I made to cease^H7673. 3Therefore are my loins^H4975 filled^H4390 with anguish^H2479; pangs^H6735 have taken hold^H270 upon me, as the pangs^H6735 of a woman in travail^H3205: I am pained^H5753 so that I cannot hear^H8085; I am dismayed^H926 so that I cannot see^H7200. 4My heart^H3824 fluttereth^H8582, horror^H6427 hath affrighted^H1204 me; the twilight^H5399 that I desired^H2837 hath been turned^H7760 into trembling^H2731 unto me. 5They prepare^H6186 the table^H7979, they set^H6186 the watch^H6822, they eat^H398, they drink^H8354: rise^H6965 up, ye princes^H8269, anoint^H4886 the shield^H4043. 6For thus hath the Lord^H136 said^H559 unto me, Go^H3212, set^H5975 a watchman^H6822: let him declare^H5046 what he seeth^H7200: 7and when he seeth^H7200 a troop^H7393, horsemen^H6571 in pairs^H6776, a troop^H7393 of asses^H2543, a troop^H7393 of camels^H1581, he shall hearken^H7181 diligently^H7182 with much^H7227 heed^H7182. 8And he cried^H7121 as a lion^H738: O Lord^H136, I stand^H5975 continually^H8548 upon the watch-tower^H4707 in the day-time^H3119, and am set^H5324 in my ward^H4931 whole nights^H3915; 9and, behold, here cometh^H935 a troop^H7393 of men^H376, horsemen^H6571 in pairs^H6776. And he answered^H6030 and said^H559, Fallen^H5307, fallen^H5307 is Babylon^H894; and all the graven images^H6456 of her gods^H430 are broken^H7665 unto the ground^H776. 10O thou my threshing^H4098, and the grain^H1121 of my floor^H1637! that which I have heard^H8085 from Jehovah^H3068 of hosts^H6635, the God^H430 of Israel^H3478, have I declared^H5046 unto you. 11The burden^H4853 of Dumah^H1746. One calleth^H7121 unto me out of Seir^H8165, Watchman^H8104, what of the night^H3915? Watchman^H8104, what of the night^H3915? 12The watchman^H8104 said^H559, The morning^H1242 cometh^H857, and also the night^H3915: if ye will inquire^H1158, inquire^H1158 ye: turn^H7725 ye, come^H857. 13The burden^H4853 upon Arabia^H6152. In the forest^H3293 in Arabia^H6152 shall ye lodge^H3885, O ye caravans^H736 of Dedanites^H1720. 14Unto him^H7125 that was thirsty^H6771 they brought^H857 water^H4325; the inhabitants^H3427 of the land^H776 of Tema^H8485 did meet^H6923 the fugitives^H5074 with their bread^H3899. 15For they fled^H5074 away 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. 16For thus hath the Lord^H136 said^H559 unto me, Within a year^H8141, according to the years^H8141 of a hireling^H7916, all the glory^H3519 of Kedar^H6938 shall fail^H3615; 17and the residue^H7605 of the number^H4557 of the archers^H7198, the mighty men^H1368 of the children^H1121 of Kedar^H6938, shall be few^H4591; for Jehovah^H3068, the God^H430 of Israel^H3478, hath spoken^H1696 it.
