THE BURDEN OF BABEL
The burden of the wilderness of the sea: As hurricanes in the south pass through; thus it comes from the wilderness - from an awesome land. 2 I am told a hard vision: the coverter coverts and the ravager ravages. Ascend, O Elam! Besiege, O Maday! I shabbathize all its sighing. 3 So my loins fill with pain: pangs hold me as pangs of a woman birthing: I twist at hearing; I terrify at seeing: 4 my heart staggers; trembling frightens me: he sets the evening breeze of my pleasure to tremble me. 5 Arrange the table! Watch in the watchtower! Eat! Drink! Arise, you governors! Anoint the buckler! 6 For Adonay says thus to me, Go, stand a watcher; to tell what he sees. 7 And he sees a chariot with a pair of cavalry, a chariot of burros, a chariot of camels; and in hearkening, he hearkens: 8 and he calls out, A lion! Adonay, I stand continually on the watchtower in the day and I station in my guard whole nights: 9 and, behold, a chariot of men comes with a pair of cavalry: and he answers and says, Fallen! Babel - fallen! and he breaks all the sculptiles of her elohim to the earth. 10 O my threshing, and the sons of my threshingfloor: whatever I heard from Yah Veh Sabaoth, Elohim of Yisra El, I tell you. 11
THE BURDEN OF DUMAH
The burden of Dumah: A call to me from Seir, Guard, what of the night? Guard, what of the night? 12 The guard says, The morning comes and also the night: if you enquire - enquire: return, come. 13
THE BURDEN OF ARABIA
The burden upon Arabia: You, stay overnight in the forest in Arabia, you caravans of Dedanim: 14 the settlers of the land of Tema bring water to confront the thirsty, with their bread they anticipate him who flees: 15 for they flee from the face of the swords - from the face of the drawn sword and from the face of the bent bow and from the face of the heaviness of war. 16 For Adonay says thus to me, Within a year, according to the years of a hireling, all the honor of Qedar finishes off: 17 and the survivors of the number of bows - the mighty of the sons of Qedar diminish: for Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El has worded.
