Isaiah 21
21
Fallen, Fallen Is Babylon
1The #See ch. 13:1 oracle concerning the wilderness of #Jer. 51:36, 42 the sea.
#
Jer. 51:1
As whirlwinds in the Negeb sweep on,
it comes from the wilderness,
from a terrible land.
2A stern vision is told to me;
# ch.
24:16; 33:1 the traitor betrays,
and the destroyer destroys.
Go up, O #See ch. 11:11 Elam;
lay siege, O #See ch. 13:17 Media;
all the #Ezek. 9:4sighing she has caused
I bring to an end.
3Therefore my loins are filled with anguish;
# See ch.
13:8
pangs have seized me,
like the pangs of a woman in labor;
I am bowed down so that I cannot hear;
I am dismayed so that I cannot see.
4My heart staggers; horror has appalled me;
# [
Deut. 28:67
] the twilight I longed for
has been turned for me into trembling.
5 #
Jer. 51:39, 57 They prepare the table,
they spread the rugs,#21:5 Or they set the watchman
they eat, they drink.
Arise, O princes;
#
2 Sam. 1:21
oil the shield!
6For thus the Lord said to me:
“Go, set a watchman;
let him announce what he sees.
7When he sees riders, horsemen in pairs,
riders on donkeys, riders on camels,
let him listen diligently,
very diligently.”
8Then he who saw cried out:#21:8 Dead Sea Scroll, Syriac; Masoretic Text Then a lion cried out, or Then he cried out like a lion
#
Hab. 2:1
“Upon a watchtower I stand, O Lord,
continually by day,
and at my post I am stationed
whole nights.
9And behold, here come riders,
horsemen in pairs!”
# [
Hab. 2:2
] And he answered,
#
Jer. 51:8; Cited
Rev. 14:8; 18:2 “Fallen, fallen is Babylon;
# ch.
46:1
and all the carved images of her gods
he has shattered to the ground.”
10O #Jer. 51:33; Amos 1:3; [Mic. 4:13]my threshed and winnowed one,
what I have heard from the Lord of hosts,
the God of Israel, I announce to you.
11The #See ch. 13:1 oracle concerning #Gen. 25:14; 1 Chr. 1:30 Dumah.
One is calling to me from #Deut. 2:8; Ezek. 35:2Seir,
“Watchman, what time of the night?
Watchman, what time of the night?”
12The watchman says:
“Morning comes, and also #[Job 36:20; Amos 5:8] the night.
If you will inquire, #[Ps. 37:36]inquire;
come back again.”
13The #See ch. 13:1 oracle concerning #Gen. 25:3; Jer. 25:23, 24 Arabia.
In the thickets in #Gen. 25:3; Jer. 25:23, 24 Arabia you will lodge,
O #[Gen. 37:25]caravans of #Gen. 25:3; Jer. 25:23, 24 Dedanites.
14To the thirsty bring water;
meet the fugitive with bread,
O inhabitants of the land of #Job 6:19Tema.
15For they have fled from the swords,
from the drawn sword,
from the bent bow,
and from the press of battle.
16For thus the Lord said to me, “Within a year, #See ch. 16:14 according to the years of a hired worker, all the glory of #ch. 60:7; Gen. 25:13; Ps. 120:5, 6; Song 1:5; Jer. 2:10; 49:28; Ezek. 27:21Kedar will come to an end. 17And the remainder of the archers of the mighty men of the sons of #[See ver. 16 above] Kedar will be few, #ch. 1:20for the Lord, the God of Israel, has spoken.”
