Yasha'Yahu (Isaiah) — 21

A Message about Babylun 

1 This message came to me concerning Babylun, the desert by the sea: Disaster is roaring down on you from the desert, like a whirlwind sweeping in from the Nagab.

2 I see a terrifying vision: I see the betrayer betraying, the destroyer destroying, Go ahead, you Elamites and Medes, attack and lay siege, I will make an end to all the groaning Babylun caused.

3 My stomach aches and burns with pain.    Sharp pangs of anguish are upon me, like those of a woman in labor, I grow faint when I hear what 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH is planning; I am too afraid to look.

4 My mind reels and my heart races. I longed for evening to come, but now I am terrified of the dark.

5 Look! They are preparing a great feast.    They are spreading rugs for people to sit on. Everyone is eating and drinking, But quick! Grab your shields and prepare for battle. You are being attacked!

6 Meanwhile, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH Dabar to me, “Put a watchman on the city wall, Let him shout out what he sees.

7 He should look for chariots drawn by pairs of horses, and for riders on donkeys and camels. Let the watchman be fully alert.”

8 Then the watchman called out, “Day after day I have stood on the watchtower, my master. Night after night I have remained at my post.

9 Now at last look! Here comes a man in a chariot with a pair of horses! ”Then the watchman said, Babylun is fallen, is fallen! All the idols of Babylun lie broken on the ground!

10 O my people, threshed and winnowed, I have told you everything 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH Tsaba'ut has Dabar, everything the 𐤀𐤋𐤅𐤄_ALUAH of Yashar'AL has told me.

A Message about Adum

11 This message came to me concerning Adum: Someone from Adum keeps calling to me, “Watchman, how much longer until morning? When will the night be over?”

12 The watchman replies,“Morning is coming, but night will soon return. If you wish to ask again, then come back and ask.”

A Message about Arabia

13 This message came to me concerning Arabia: O caravans from Dadan, hide in the deserts of Arabia.

14 O people of Tama, bring water to these thirsty people, food to these weary refugees.

15 They have fled from the sword, from the drawn sword, from the bent bow and the terrors of battle.

16 And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH Dabar to me, “Within a year, counting each day, all the happiness of Kadar will come to an end. 

17 Only a few of its courageous archers will survive. I, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH the 𐤀𐤋𐤅𐤄_ALUAH of Yashar'AL have spoken!”
