The Burden against Arabia

[This is] the burden against Arabia:

In the thickets of Arabia you must lodge,

O caravans of Dedanites.

14 

Bring water for the thirsty,

O dwellers vvv of Tema;

meet the refugees with food.

15 

For they flee from the sword—

the sword that is drawn—

from the bow that is bent,

and from the stress of battle.

16 

For this [is what] the Lord says to me:“Within one year, as a hired worker would count [it], all the glory of Kedar will be gone. 17 The remaining archers, the warriors of Kedar, will be few.”

For the LORD, the God of Israel, has spoken. 22
