A Pronouncement against Arabia
13 A pronouncement concerning Arabia:(A)
In the desert[a] brush
you will camp for the night,
you caravans of Dedanites.(B)
14 Bring water for the thirsty.
The inhabitants of the land of Tema(C)
meet[b] the refugees with food.
15 For they have fled from swords,
from the drawn sword,
from the bow that is strung,
and from the stress of battle.
16 For the Lord said this to me: “Within one year,(D) as a hired worker counts years, all the glory of Kedar(E) will be gone. 17 The remaining Kedarite archers will be few in number.” For the Lord, the God of Israel, has spoken.

13 The oracle concerning the desert plain.
In the scrub of the desert plain you will lodge,
O caravans of Dedanites.(A)
14 Bring water to the thirsty,
O inhabitants of the land of Tema;
meet the fugitive with bread.(B)
15 For they have fled from the swords,
from the drawn sword,
from the bent bow,
and from the stress of battle.(C)
16 For thus the Lord said to me: “Within a year, according to the years of a hired worker, all the glory of Kedar will come to an end,(D) 17 and the remaining bows of Kedar’s warriors will be few, for the Lord, the God of Israel, has spoken.”(E)

A Prophecy Against Arabia
13 A prophecy(A) against Arabia:(B)
You caravans of Dedanites,(C)
who camp in the thickets of Arabia,
14 bring water for the thirsty;
you who live in Tema,(D)
bring food for the fugitives.
15 They flee(E) from the sword,(F)
from the drawn sword,
from the bent bow
and from the heat of battle.
16 This is what the Lord says to me: “Within one year, as a servant bound by contract(G) would count it, all the splendor(H) of Kedar(I) will come to an end. 17 The survivors of the archers, the warriors of Kedar, will be few.(J)” The Lord, the God of Israel, has spoken.(K)
