021:007 When he sees a troop, horsemen in pairs, a troop of donkeys, a troop
of camels, he shall listen diligently with great attentiveness."
021:008 He cried like a lion: "Lord, I stand continually on the watchtower
in the daytime, and every night I stay at my post.
021:009 Behold, here comes a troop of men, horsemen in pairs."
He answered, "Fallen, fallen is Babylon; and all the engraved
images of her gods are broken to the ground.
021:010 You are my threshing, and the grain of my floor!"
That which I have heard from Yahweh of Armies, the God
of Israel, I have declared to you.
021:011 The burden of Dumah. One calls to me out of Seir, "Watchman,
what of the night? Watchman, what of the night?"
021:012 The watchman said, "The morning comes, and also the night.
If you will inquire, inquire. Come back again."
021:013 The burden on Arabia. In the forest in Arabia you will lodge,
you caravans of Dedanites.
021:014 They brought water to him who was thirsty. The inhabitants
of the land of Tema met the fugitives with their bread.
021:015 For they fled away from the swords, from the drawn sword,
from the bent bow, and from the heat of battle.
021:016 For the Lord said to me, "Within a year, as a worker bound
by contract would count it, all the glory of Kedar will fail,
021:017 and the residue of the number of the archers, the mighty
men of the children of Kedar, will be few; for Yahweh,
the God of Israel, has spoken it."
022:001 The burden of the valley of vision. What ails you now,
that you have all gone up to the housetops?
022:002 You that are full of shouting, a tumultuous city, a joyous town;
your slain are not slain with the sword, neither are they
dead in battle.
022:003 All your rulers fled away together. They were bound by
the archers. All who were found by you were bound together.
They fled far away.
022:004 Therefore I said, "Look away from me. I will weep bitterly.
Don't labor to comfort me for the destruction of the daughter
of my people.
022:005 For it is a day of confusion, and of treading down, and of perplexity,
from the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, in the valley of vision;
a breaking down of the walls, and a crying to the mountains."
022:006 Elam carried his quiver, with chariots of men and horsemen;
and Kir uncovered the shield.
022:007 It happened that your choicest valleys were full of chariots,
and the horsemen set themselves in array at the gate.
022:008 He took away the covering of Judah; and you looked in that day
to the armor in the house of the forest.
022:009 You saw the breaches of the city of David, that they were many;
and you gathered together the waters of the lower pool.
022:010 You numbered the houses of Jerusalem, and you broke down
the houses to fortify the wall.
