1 The burden H4853 of the desert H4057 of the sea H3220 NMS . As whirlwinds H5492 in the south H5045 pass through H2498 ; so it cometh H935 VQPMS from the desert H4057 , from a terrible H3372 land H776 M-NFS .
2 A grievous H7186 vision H2380 is declared H5046 unto me ; the treacherous dealer H898 dealeth treacherously H898 , and the spoiler H7703 spoileth H7703 VQPMS . Go up H5927 , O Elam H5867 EMS : besiege H6696 , O Media H4074 ; all H3605 NMS the sighing H585 thereof have I made to cease H7673 .
3 Therefore H5921 PREP are my loins H4975 filled H4390 VQQ3MP with pain H2479 : pangs H6735 have taken hold H270 upon me , as the pangs H6735 of a woman that travaileth H3205 : I was bowed down H5753 at the hearing H8085 of it ; I was dismayed H926 at the seeing H7200 of it .
4 My heart H3824 CMS-1MS panted H8582 , fearfulness H6427 frightened H1204 me : the night H5399 NMS of my pleasure H2837 hath he turned H7760 VQQ3MS into fear H2731 unto me .
5 Prepare H6186 the table H7979 , watch H6822 in the watchtower H6844 , eat H398 , drink H8354 : arise H6965 , ye princes H8269 , and anoint H4886 the shield H4043 .
6 For H3588 CONJ thus H3541 hath the Lord H136 EDS said H559 VQQ3MS unto H413 PREP-1MS me , Go H1980 VQI2MS , set H5975 a watchman H6822 , let him declare H5046 what H834 RPRO he seeth H7200 VQY3MS .
7 And he saw H7200 a chariot H7393 with a couple H6776 NMS of horsemen H6571 , a chariot H7393 of asses H2543 CMS , and a chariot H7393 of camels H1581 ; and he hearkened H7181 diligently H7182 with much H7227 AMS heed H7182 :
8 And he cried H7121 W-VQY3MS , A lion H738 NMS : My lord H113 , I H595 PPRO-1MS stand H5975 continually H8548 upon H5921 PREP the watchtower H4707 in the daytime H3119 ADV , and I H595 PPRO-1MS am set H5324 in H5921 PREP my ward H4931 whole H3605 NMS nights H3915 :
9 And , behold H2009 IJEC , here H2088 DPRO cometh H935 a chariot H7393 of men H376 NMS , with a couple H6776 NMS of horsemen H6571 . And he answered H6030 W-VQY3MS and said H559 W-VQY3MS , Babylon H894 LFS is fallen H5307 , is fallen H5307 VQQ3FS ; and all H3605 W-CMS the graven images H6456 of her gods H430 he hath broken H7665 unto the ground H776 .
10 O my threshing H4098 , and the corn H1121 W-CMS of my floor H1637 : that which H834 RPRO I have heard H8085 VQQ1MS of the LORD H3068 EDS of hosts H6635 , the God H430 CDP of Israel H3478 , have I declared H5046 VHQ1MS unto you .
11 The burden H4853 of Dumah H1746 . He calleth H7121 VQPMS to H413 PREP-1MS me out of Seir H8165 , Watchman H8104 , what H4100 IPRO of the night H3915 ? Watchman H8104 , what H4100 IPRO of the night H3915 ?
12 The watchman H8104 said H559 VQQ3MS , The morning H1242 NUM-MS cometh H857 , and also H1571 W-CONJ the night H3915 NFS : if H518 PART ye will inquire H1158 , inquire H1158 ye : return H7725 , come H857 .
13 The burden H4853 upon Arabia H6152 . In the forest H3293 in Arabia H6152 shall ye lodge H3885 , O ye traveling companies H736 of Dedanim H1720 .
14 The inhabitants H3427 of the land H776 GFS of Tema H8485 brought H857 water H4325 NMD to him that was thirsty H6771 , they prevented H6923 with their bread H3899 him that fled H5074 .
15 For H3588 CONJ they fled H5074 from M-CMP the swords H2719 , from M-CMP the drawn H5203 sword H2719 GFS , and from M-CMP the bent H1869 bow H7198 CFS , and from M-CMP the grievousness H3514 of war H4421 .
16 For H3588 CONJ thus H3541 hath the Lord H136 EDS said H559 VQQ3MS unto H413 me , Within H5750 B-ADV a year H8141 NFS , according to the years H8141 of a hireling H7916 AMS , and all H3605 NMS the glory H3519 of Kedar H6938 shall fail H3615 :
17 And the residue H7605 of the number H4557 CMS of archers H7198 CFS , the mighty men H1368 of the children H1121 of Kedar H6938 , shall be diminished H4591 : for H3588 CONJ the LORD H3068 EDS God H430 of Israel H3478 hath spoken H1696 it .
