Isaiah 21:1-10 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.

KJV_Strongs⁽ⁱ⁾

1 H4853 The burden H4057 of the desert H3220 of the sea H5492 . As whirlwinds H5045 in the south H2498 pass [H8800] H935 through; so it cometh [H8802] H4057 from the desert H3372 , from a terrible [H8737] H776 land.

2 H7186 A grievous H2380 vision H5046 is declared [H8717] H898 unto me; the treacherous dealer [H8802] H898 dealeth treacherously [H8802] H7703 , and the spoiler [H8802] H7703 spoileth [H8802] H5927 . Go up [H8798] H5867 , O Elam H6696 : besiege [H8798] H4074 , O Media H585 ; all the sighing H7673 thereof have I made to cease [H8689] .

3 H4975 Therefore are my loins H4390 filled [H8804] H2479 with pain H6735 : pangs H270 have taken hold [H8804] H6735 upon me, as the pangs H3205 of a woman that travaileth [H8802] H5753 : I was bowed down [H8738] H8085 at the hearing [H8800] H926 of it; I was dismayed [H8738] H7200 at the seeing [H8800] of it .

4 H3824 My heart H8582 panted [H8804] H6427 , fearfulness H1204 affrighted [H8765] H5399 me: the night H2837 of my pleasure H7760 hath he turned [H8804] H2731 into fear unto me.

5 H6186 Prepare [H8800] H7979 the table H6822 , watch [H8800] H6844 in the watchtower H398 , eat [H8800] H8354 , drink [H8800] H6965 : arise [H8798] H8269 , ye princes H4886 , and anoint [H8798] H4043 the shield.

6 H136 For thus hath the Lord H559 said [H8804] H3212 unto me, Go [H8798] H5975 , set [H8685] H6822 a watchman [H8764] H5046 , let him declare [H8686] H7200 what he seeth [H8799] .

7 H7200 And he saw [H8804] H7393 a chariot H6776 with a couple H6571 of horsemen H7393 , a chariot H2543 of asses H7393 , and a chariot H1581 of camels H7181 ; and he hearkened [H8689] H7182 diligently H7227 with much H7182 heed:

8 H7121 And he cried [H8799] H738 , A lion H136 : My lord H5975 , I stand [H8802] H8548 continually H4707 upon the watchtower H3119 in the daytime H5324 , and I am set [H8737] H4931 in my ward H3915 whole nights:

9 H935 And, behold, here cometh [H8802] H7393 a chariot H376 of men H6776 , with a couple H6571 of horsemen H6030 . And he answered [H8799] H559 and said [H8799] H894 , Babylon H5307 is fallen [H8804] H5307 , is fallen [H8804] H6456 ; and all the graven images H430 of her gods H7665 he hath broken [H8765] H776 unto the ground.

10 H4098 O my threshing H1121 , and the corn H1637 of my floor H8085 : that which I have heard [H8804] H3068 of the LORD H6635 of hosts H430 , the God H3478 of Israel H5046 , have I declared [H8689] unto you.

KJV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ 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. ² 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. ³ 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. ⁴ My heart panted, fearfulness affrighted me: the night of my pleasure hath he turned into fear unto me. ⁵ Prepare the table, watch in the watchtower, eat, drink: arise, ye princes, and anoint the shield. ⁶ For thus hath the LORD said unto me, Go, set a watchman, let him declare what he seeth. ⁷ 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: ⁸ 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: ⁹ 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. ¹⁰ O my threshing, and the corn of my floor: that which I have heard of the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, have I declared unto you.
