Isaiah 21:13-17
Modern English Version
A Prophecy Against Arabia
13 The oracle about Arabia.
In the forest of Arabia you shall lodge,
O traveling companies of Dedanites.
14 Bring water for the thirsty,
O inhabitants of the land of Tema;
meet the fugitive with bread.
15 For they fled from the swords,
from the drawn sword,
and from the bent bow,
and from the grievousness of war.
16 For thus the Lord has said to me: Within a year, according to the years of a hireling, all the glory of Kedar shall fail. 17 And the remainder of the number of archers, the mighty men of the children of Kedar, shall be diminished, for the Lord God of Israel has spoken it.

21st Century King James Version
13 The burden upon Arabia: In the forest in Arabia shall ye lodge, O ye traveling companies of Dedanites.
14 The inhabitants of the land of Tema brought water to him that was thirsty; they were ready with their bread for him that fled.
15 For they fled from the swords, from the drawn sword, and from the bent bow and from the grievousness of war.
16 For thus hath the Lord said unto me: “Within a year, according to the years of a hireling, all the glory of Kedar shall fail.
17 And the residue of the number of archers, the mighty men of the children of Kedar, shall be diminished. For the Lord God of Israel hath spoken it.”
