Sermons citing Isaiah 21

^21:3 Therefore my body is filled with anguish. Pain grips me, like the pains of a woman in labor. I am bewildered to hear, I am dismayed to see.

^21:4 My heart falters; fear makes me tremble. The twilight I desired has turned to horror.

^21:5 They prepare a table, they lay out a carpet, they eat, they drink! Rise up, O princes, oil the shields!

^21:6 For this is what the Lord says to me: “Go, post a lookout and have him report what he sees.

^21:7 When he sees chariots with teams of horsemen, riders on donkeys, riders on camels, he must be alert, fully alert.”

^21:8 Then the lookout shouted: “Day after day, my lord, I stand on the watchtower; night after night I stay at my post.

^21:9 Look, here come the riders, horsemen in pairs.” And one answered, saying: “Fallen, fallen is Babylon! All the images of her gods lie shattered on the ground!”

^21:10 O my people, crushed on the threshing floor, I tell you what I have heard from the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel.

^21:11 This is the burden against Dumah: One calls to me from Seir, “Watchman, what is left of the night? Watchman, what is left of the night?”

^21:12 The watchman replies, “Morning has come, but also the night. If you would inquire, then inquire. Come back yet again.”

^21:13 This is the burden against Arabia: In the thickets of Arabia you must lodge, O caravans of Dedanites.

^21:14 Bring water for the thirsty, O dwellers of Tema; meet the refugees with food.

^21:15 For they flee from the sword—the sword that is drawn—from the bow that is bent, and from the stress of battle.

^21:16 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.

^21:17 The remaining archers, the warriors of Kedar, will be few.” For the LORD, the God of Israel, has spoken.
