Isaiah is not in PT1904.
1 A declaration about the desert by the sea. Like stormwinds sweeping through the Negev it comes passing through from the wilderness, from a terrible land.
·
2 A distressing vision has been given to me: the treacherous man deals treacherously, and the destroyer destroys. Go up and attack, Elam; besiege, Media; I will stop all her groaning.
·
3 Therefore my loins are filled with pain; pains like the pains of a woman in labor have taken hold of me; I am bowed down by what I heard; I am disturbed by what I saw.
·
4 My heart pounds; I shake with fear. Twilight was my desire, but it brought me terror.
·
5 They prepare the table, they spread rugs and eat and drink; arise, princes, anoint your shields with oil.
·
6 For this is what the Lord said to me, “Go, post a watchman; he must report what he sees.
·
7 When he sees a chariot, a pair of horsemen, riders on donkeys, and riders on camels, then he must pay attention and be very alert.”
·
8 The watchman cries out, “Lord, on the watchtower I stand all day, every day, and at my post I stand all night long.”
·
9 Here comes a chariot with a man and a pair of horsemen. He calls out, “Babylon has fallen, fallen, and all the carved figures of its gods are broken to the ground.”
·
10 My threshed and winnowed ones, children of my threshing floor! What I have heard from Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel, I have declared to you.
·
11 A declaration about Dumah. One calls to me from Seir, “Watchman, what is left of the night? Watchman, what is left of the night?”
·
12 The watchman said, “The morning comes and also the night. If you want to ask, then ask; and come back again.”
·
13 A declaration about Arabia. In the wilderness of Arabia you spend the night, you caravans of Dedanites.
·
14 Bring water for the thirsty; inhabitants of the land of Tema, meet the fugitives with bread.
·
15 For they have fled from the sword, from the drawn sword, from the bent bow, and from the weight of war.
·
16 For this is what the Lord said to me, “Within a year, as a laborer hired for a year would see it, all the glory of Kedar will end.
·
17 Only a few of the archers, the warriors of Kedar will remain,” for Yahweh, the God of Israel, has spoken.
