A Prophecy Against Edom

11 A prophecy against Dumah[a]:(A)

Someone calls to me from Seir,(B)
    “Watchman, what is left of the night?
    Watchman, what is left of the night?”
12 The watchman replies,
    “Morning is coming, but also the night.
If you would ask, then ask;
    and come back yet again.”

A Prophecy Against Arabia

13 A prophecy(C) against Arabia:(D)

You caravans of Dedanites,(E)
    who camp in the thickets of Arabia,
14     bring water for the thirsty;
you who live in Tema,(F)
    bring food for the fugitives.
15 They flee(G) from the sword,(H)
    from the drawn sword,
from the bent bow
    and from the heat of battle.
