Isaiah 21:13-17
Legacy Standard Bible
13 The [a]oracle about [b](A)Arabia.
In the thickets of [c]Arabia you [d]must spend the night,
O caravans of (B)Dedanites.
14 Bring water to meet the thirsty,
O inhabitants of the land of (C)Tema,
Meet with bread the one who has fled.
15 For they have (D)fled from the swords,
From the drawn sword, and from the bent bow
And from the heaviness of battle.
16 For thus the Lord said to me, “In a (E)year, as [e]a hired man would count it, all the glory of (F)Kedar will end; 17 and the (G)remainder of the number of bowmen, the mighty men of the sons of Kedar, will be few; for Yahweh, the God of Israel, (H)has spoken.”

New International Version
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)
