1 This is the divine revelation about the desert by the sea.
2 I was shown a harsh vision.
3 That is why my body is full of trembling.
4 I’m confused.
5 Set the table.
6 This is what the Lord says to me:
7 He will see chariots, pairs of horsemen,
8 The watchman called,
9 Look! Here come chariots and horsemen in pairs.”
10 You, my people, have been threshed and winnowed.
11 This is the divine revelation about Dumah.
12 The watchman answers,
13 This is the divine revelation about Arabia.
14 Bring water for the thirsty,
15 They flee from swords,
16 This is what the Lord says to me: All of Kedar’s honor will be gone in another year. I will count it like workers count the years left on their contracts.
17 The remaining number of archers, Kedar’s mighty archers, will be few. The Lord God of Israel has spoken.
