Isaiah 21:13-17
New King James Version
Proclamation Against Arabia
13 (A)The [a]burden against Arabia.
In the forest in Arabia you will lodge,
O you traveling companies (B)of Dedanites.
14 O inhabitants of the land of Tema,
Bring water to him who is thirsty;
With their bread they met him who fled.
15 For they fled from the swords, from the drawn sword,
From the bent bow, and from the distress of war.
16 For thus the Lord has said to me: “Within a year, (C)according to the year of a hired man, all the glory of (D)Kedar will fail; 17 and the remainder of the number of archers, the mighty men of the people of Kedar, will be diminished; for the Lord God of Israel has spoken it.”

Isaiah 21:13-17
Authorized (King James) Version
13 The burden upon Arabia.
In the forest in Arabia shall ye lodge,
O ye travelling companies of Dedanim.
14 The inhabitants of the land of Tema brought water to him that was thirsty,
they prevented with their bread 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 an hireling,
and 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.
