Yesaya 21:16-17

21:16 For this is what the sovereign master ¹  has told me: “Within exactly one year ²  all the splendor of Kedar will come to an end. 21:17 Just a handful of archers, the warriors of Kedar, will be left.” ³  Indeed, ⁴  the Lord God of Israel has spoken.

Yesaya 42:11

42:11 Let the desert and its cities shout out,

the towns where the nomads of Kedar live!

Let the residents of Sela shout joyfully;

let them shout loudly from the mountaintops.
