New Testament

Isaiah 21:11-17 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

11. The burden of Dumah, cried out to me from Seir: "Watchman, how goes the night? Watchman, how goes the night?"

12. The watchman said: "Morning approaches with the night. If you are seeking: seek, and convert, and approach."

13. The burden in Arabia. In the forest you shall sleep, in the evening on the paths of Dedanim.

14. You who inhabit the land of the south: upon meeting the thirsty, bring water; meet the fugitive with bread.

15. For they are fleeing before the face of swords, before the face of a sword hanging over them, before the face of a bent bow, before the face of a grievous battle.

16. For the Lord said this to me: "After one more year, just like one year for a hired hand, all the glory of Kedar will be taken away.

17. And the remainder of the multitude of strong archers from the sons of Kedar will be few, for the Lord, the God of Israel, has spoken it."
