Agaynst Babylon, Idumea, and Arabia.
Thys is the heauy burthen of the
05Q0871 waste sea: A greuous vysion
was shewed vnto me,
A lyke as
when a storme of winde ∧ rayn
russheth in from the wildernesse
that terrible land. Who so may disceyue (said
the voyce) let him disceyue. Who so may destroye,
let him dystroye. Vp Elam, besege it
O Madai, for I wyl styl al their groninges.
With this the raynes of my backe were full
of payne: Panges came vpon me, as vpon a
woman in her trauayle.
B When I hearde it, I
was abasshed, and when I loked vp, I was
afrayde. Myne herte panted, I trembled for
feare. 05Q0872The darcknesse made me fearfull in

Yea sone make ready the table (sayde this
voyce) kepe the watch, eate ∧ dryncke. Vp ye
Captaynes, take you to youre shild, for thus
the Lorde hath charged me: go thy waye, and
set a watche man, þt; he may tel what he seith.

lyon cryed: Lorde, I haue stande waytynge
all the whole daye, and haue kepte my watch
all the night. Wyth that came there one rydinge
vpon a charet, whyche answered, and
sayde: Babilon is fallen, she is turned vp
syde doune and al the ymages of her Godes
are smytten to the grounde. This (O my felowe
thresshers and fanners) haue I hearde
of the Lorde of Hostes the God of Israel, to
shewe it vnto you.
The heauy burthen of Duma.
D One of Seir cryed vnto me: Watche man
what hast thou espyed by nyght, whatchem&abar;
what hast thou espyed by nyght. The watchman
answered: The daye breaketh on, and
the nyght is commyng: Yf youre request be
earnest, then aske and come agayne.
The heauy burthen of Arabia.
At euen ye shall abyde in the wood, in the
way toward Dedanim. Mete the thursty &wt;
water (O ye cytesins of Hema, mete those
&wt; bread þt; are fled. For they shal r&ubar;ne away
from the weapen, from the drawen swearde,
from the bent bowe, and from the greate battel.
For thus hath the Lorde spoken vnto me:
ouer a yeare shall all the power of Cedar be
gone, lyke as when the offyce of an hyred seruaunt
goeth oute. And the remnaunte of the
good Archers of Cedar, shalbe very fewe:
For the Lorde God of Israel hath spoken it.
