Isaiah 21:13-17
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.”

New Living Translation
A Message about Arabia
13 This message came to me concerning Arabia:
O caravans from Dedan,
hide in the deserts of Arabia.
14 O people of Tema,
bring water to these thirsty people,
food to these weary refugees.
15 They have fled from the sword,
from the drawn sword,
from the bent bow
and the terrors of battle.
16 The Lord said to me, “Within a year, counting each day,[a] all the glory of Kedar will come to an end. 17 Only a few of its courageous archers will survive. I, the Lord, the God of Israel, have spoken!”
