NASB Bible (with Strong's Numbers)

Isaiah 21

God Commands That Babylon Be Taken

1

The  1 aoracleh4853b concerning the  2 bwildernessh4057b of the seah3220. As  cwindstormsh5492a in the  3Negevh5045 sweeph2498 on, It comesh935 from the wildernessh4057b, from a terrifyingh3372a landh776.

2

A  aharshh7186 visionh2380 has been shownh5046 to me; The  btreacheroush898 one still dealsh898 treacherouslyh898, and the destroyerh7703 still destroysh7703. Goh5927 up,  cElamh5867a, layh6696a siegeh6696a, Mediah4074; I have madeh7673a an endh7673a of allh3605  1the groaningh603 she has caused.

3

For thish3651 reasonh5921h3651 my  aloinsh4975 are fullh4390 of anguishh2479; Painsh6735c have seizedh270 me like the painsh6735c of a  bwoman in laborh3205. I am soh4480 bewilderedh5753a I cannoth4480 hearh8085, soh4480 terrifiedh926 I cannoth4480 seeh7200.

4

My  1mindh3824 reelsh8582,  2horrorh6427 overwhelmsh1204 me; The twilighth5399 I longedh2837 for has been  aturnedh7760 for me into tremblingh2731.

5

They  aseth6186a the tableh7979, they  1spreadh6823 out the clothh6844, they eath398, they drinkh8354; "Riseh6965 up, captainsh8269, oilh4886 the shieldsh4043,"

6

For thush3541 the Lordh136 saysh559 to me, "Goh1980, stationh5975 the lookouth6822, let him  areporth5046 whath834 he seesh7200.

7

"When he seesh7200  aridersh7393, horsemenh6571b in pairsh6776, A trainh7393 of donkeysh2543, a trainh7393 of camelsh1581, Let him payh7181 closeh7182 attentionh7181, veryh7227a closeh7182 attentionh7182."

8

Then  1the lookouth4707 calledh7121, " aO Lordh136, I standh5975 continuallyh8548 by dayh3119 on the watchtowerh4707, And I am stationedh5324 everyh3605 nighth3915 at my guardh4931 posth4931.

9

"Now beholdh2009, hereh2088 comesh935 a trooph376 of ridersh7393, horsemenh6571b in pairsh6776." And one saidh559, " aFallenh5307, fallenh5307 is Babylonh894; And allh3605 the  bimagesh6456 of her godsh430  1are shatteredh7665 on the groundh776."

10

O my  athreshedh4098 people, and my  1afflictedh1121 of the threshingh1637 floorh1637! Whath834 I have heardh8085 from the LORDh3068 of hostsh6635, The Godh430 of Israelh3478, I makeh5046 knownh5046 to you.

Oracles about Edom and Arabia

11

The  1oracleh4853b concerning  2 aEdomh112b. One keeps callingh7121 to me from  bSeirh8165, "Watchmanh8104,  3howh4100 far goneh4480 is the nighth3915? Watchmanh8104,  3howh4100 far goneh4480 is the nighth3915?"

12

The watchmanh8104 saysh559, "Morningh1242 comesh857 but alsoh1571 nighth3915. Ifh518 you would inquireh1158, inquireh1158; Comeh857 backh7725 againh7725."

13

The  1oracleh4853b about  aArabiah6152b. In the thicketsh3293a of Arabiah6152b you  2must spendh3885a the nighth3885a, O caravansh736 of  bDedanitesh1720.

14

Bringh857 waterh4325  1for the thirstyh6771, O inhabitantsh3427 of the landh776 of  aTemah8485, Meeth6923 the fugitiveh5074 with breadh3899.

15

For they have  afledh5074 from the swordsh2719, From the drawnh5203 swordh2719, and from the benth1869 bowh7198 And from the pressh3514 of battleh4421.

16

For thush3541 the Lordh136 saidh559 to me, "In a  ayearh8141, as  1a hiredh7916 manh7916 would counth8141 it, allh3605 the splendorh3519b of  bKedarh6938 will terminateh3615;

17

and the  aremainderh7605 of the numberh4557 of bowmenh7198, the mightyh1368 menh1368 of the sonsh1121 of Kedarh6938, will be fewh4591; for the LORDh3068 Godh430 of Israelh3478  bhas spokenh1696."
