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.”

English Standard Version
13 The (A)oracle concerning (B)Arabia.
In the thickets in (C)Arabia you will lodge,
O (D)caravans of (E)Dedanites.
14 To the thirsty bring water;
meet the fugitive with bread,
O inhabitants of the land of (F)Tema.
15 For they have fled from the swords,
from the drawn sword,
from the bent bow,
and from the press of battle.
16 For thus the Lord said to me, “Within a year, (G)according to the years of a hired worker, all the glory of (H)Kedar will come to an end. 17 And the remainder of the archers of the mighty men of the sons of (I)Kedar will be few, (J)for the Lord, the God of Israel, has spoken.”
