Chap. XXI.
note
The destruction of Babylon by the Medes and Persians is againe prophecied,
11. The like of the Idumeans; 13. and of Arabians.
1 The burden of the desert sea. As whirlewinds come
from the South, it cometh from the desert, from an horrible
land. note
2 A sore vision was told me: he that is incredulous
doth vnfaithfully: & he that is a spoiler, wasteth. Come
vp Aelam, besiege รด Mede: I haue made al the moorning therof
to cease.
3 Therfore are my loines filled with sorow, anguish
hath possessed me, as the anguish of a woman that trauaileth:
I fel downe when I heard it, I was trubled when I saw it.
4 Mine hart sayled, darkenes made me astonied: Babylon my
beloued is made a miracle vnto me.
5 Lay the table, looke
about in the watch towre the eaters and drinkers: arise ye
princes, take shield.
6 For thus hath our Lord sayd to me:
Goe, and set a watchman: and what soeuer he shal see, let
him tel.
7 And he saw a chariote of two horsemen, a rider
vpon an note asse, and a rider vpon a camel: and he beheld them
-- --
diligently with much looking.
8 And a lion cried: I am vpon
the watch towre of our Lord, standing continually by day:
and I am vpon my watch, standing whole nights.
9 Behold
this man cometh, the rider vpon the chariot of two horsemen,
and he answered, and said: Fallen, fallen is Babylon, and al the
sculptils of the gods therof are broken to the ground.
10 O
my threshing, and children of my flore, the thinges that I haue
heard of the Lord of hostes the God of Israel, I haue shewed
vnto you.
11 noteThe burden of Duma crieth to me out of Seir:
Watchman what of the night? watchman what of the night?
12 The watchman said: morning is come & night: if you seeke,
seeke: returne, come.
13 noteThe burden in Arabia. In the
forest at euen you shal sleepe, in the pathes of Dedanim.
14 Meeting the thirstie bring water, you that inhabite the land
of the South, with bread meete him that fleeth.
15 For they
are fled from the face of the swordes, from the face of the
sword hanging ouer, from the face of the bow bent, from the
face of a greuous battel.
16 Because thus sayth our Lord to
me: Yet in one yeare, as in the yeare of an hyred man, and al
the glorie of Cedar shal be taken away.
17 And the remnant
of the number of the strong archers of the children of Cedar
shal be diminished: for our Lord the God of Israel hath
spoken it.
