1	The burden of the desert of the sea. As whirlwinds in the south pass# through; so it cometh# from the desert, from a terrible# land.
			2	A grievous vision is declared# unto me; the treacherous dealer# dealeth treacherously# , and the spoiler# spoileth# . Go up# , O Elam: besiege# , O Media; all the sighing thereof have I made to cease# . [grievous: Heb. hard]
			3	Therefore are my loins filled# with pain: pangs have taken hold# upon me, as the pangs of a woman that travaileth# : I was bowed down# at the hearing# of it ; I was dismayed# at the seeing# of it .
			4	My heart panted# , fearfulness affrighted# me: the night of my pleasure hath he turned# into fear unto me. [heart...: or, mind wandered] [turned: Heb. put]
			5	Prepare# the table, watch# in the watchtower, eat# , drink# : arise# , ye princes, and anoint# the shield.
			6	For thus hath the Lord said# unto me, Go# , set# a watchman# , let him declare# what he seeth# .
			7	And he saw# a chariot with a couple of horsemen, a chariot of asses, and a chariot of camels; and he hearkened# diligently with much heed:
			8	And he cried# , A lion: My lord, I stand# continually upon the watchtower in the daytime, and I am set# in my ward whole nights: [he...: or, cried as a lion] [whole...: or, every night]
			9	And, behold, here cometh# a chariot of men, with a couple of horsemen. And he answered# and said# , Babylon is fallen# , is fallen# ; and all the graven images of her gods he hath broken# unto the ground.
			10	O my threshing, and the corn of my floor: that which I have heard# of the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, have I declared# unto you. [corn: Heb. son]
			11	The burden of Dumah. He calleth# to me out of Seir, Watchman# , what of the night? Watchman# , what of the night?
			12	The watchman# said# , The morning cometh# , and also the night: if ye will enquire# , enquire# ye: return# , come# .
			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# . [brought: or, bring ye]
			15	For they fled# from the swords, from the drawn# sword, and from the bent# bow, and from the grievousness of war. [from the swords: or, for fear, etc: Heb. from the face, etc]
			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 . [archers: Heb. bows]
