13. The oracle about Arabia. In the forest of Arabia you shall lodge,O traveling companies of Dedanites.
14. Bring water for the thirsty,O inhabitants of the land of Tema;meet the fugitive with bread.
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 the Lord has said to me: Within a year, according to the years of a hireling, all the glory of Kedar shall fail.
17. And the remainder of the number of archers, the mighty men of the children of Kedar, shall be diminished, for the Lord God of Israel has spoken it.
