Isaiah 21:13-17
World English Bible
13 The burden on Arabia.
In the forest in Arabia you will lodge, you caravans of Dedanites. 14 They brought water to him who was thirsty. The inhabitants of the land of Tema met the fugitives with their bread. 15 For they fled away from the swords, from the drawn sword, from the bent bow, and from the heat of battle. 16 For the Lord said to me, “Within a year, as a worker bound by contract would count it, all the glory of Kedar will fail, 17 and the residue of the number of the archers, the mighty men of the children of Kedar, will be few; for Yahweh, the God of Israel, has spoken it.”

Isaiah 21:13-17
New American Standard Bible
13 The pronouncement about (A)Arabia:
In the thickets of Arabia you [a]must spend the night,
You caravans of (B)Dedanites.
14 Bring water [b]for the thirsty,
You inhabitants of the land of (C)Tema;
Meet the fugitive with bread.
15 For they have (D)fled from the swords,
From the drawn sword, and from the bent bow,
And from the press of battle.
16 For this is what the Lord said to me: “In a (E)year, as [c]a hired worker would count it, all the splendor of (F)Kedar will come to an end; 17 and the (G)remainder of the number of bowmen, the warriors of the sons of Kedar, will be few; for the Lord God of Israel (H)has spoken.”
