21:11 Here is a message about Dumah: 1
Someone calls to me from Seir, 2
“Watchman, what is left of the night?
Watchman, what is left of the night?” 3
21:12 The watchman replies,
“Morning is coming, but then night. 4
If you want to ask, ask;
come back again.” 5
21:13 Here is a message about Arabia:
In the thicket of Arabia you spend the night,
you Dedanite caravans.
21:14 Bring out some water for the thirsty.
You who live in the land of Tema,
bring some food for the fugitives.
21:15 For they flee from the swords –
from the drawn sword
and from the battle-ready bow
and from the severity of the battle.
21:16 For this is what the sovereign master 6 has told me: “Within exactly one year 7 all the splendor of Kedar will come to an end. 21:17 Just a handful of archers, the warriors of Kedar, will be left.” 8 Indeed, 9 the Lord God of Israel has spoken.
