Isaiah 21:13 - Forerunner Commentary

Isaiah 21:13

Proclamation Against Edom

11 ^aThe¹ burden against Dumah.
He calls to me out of ^bSeir,
“Watchman, what of the night?
Watchman, what of the night?”

12 The watchman said,
“The morning comes, and also the night.
If you will inquire, inquire;
Return! Come back!”

Proclamation Against Arabia

13 ^aThe¹ burden against Arabia.
In the forest in Arabia you will lodge,
O you traveling companies ^bof Dedanites.

14 O inhabitants of the land of Tema,
Bring water to him who is thirsty;
With their bread they met him who fled.

15 For they fled from the swords, from the drawn sword,
From the bent bow, and from the distress of war.

16 For thus the Lord has said to me: “Within a year, ^aaccording to the year of a hired man, all the glory of ^bKedar will fail;

17 and the remainder of the number of archers, the mighty men of the people of Kedar, will be diminished; for the Lord God of Israel has spoken it.”
