New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Isaiah 21
13 The oracle about Arabia. In the thickets of Arabia you must spend the night, O caravans of Dedanites.
14 Bring water for the thirsty, O inhabitants of the land of Tema, Meet the fugitive with bread.
15 For they have fled from the swords, From the drawn sword, and from the bent bow And from the press of battle.
16 For thus the Lord said to me, "In a year, as a hired man would count it, all the splendor of Kedar will terminate;
17 and the remainder of the number of bowmen, the mighty men of the sons of Kedar, will be few; for the Lord God of Israel has spoken."
Isaiah 22
1 The oracle concerning the valley of vision. What is the matter with you now, that you have all gone up to the housetops?
2 You who were full of noise, You boisterous town, you exultant city; Your slain were not slain with the sword, Nor did they die in battle.
3 All your rulers have fled together, And have been captured without the bow; All of you who were found were taken captive together, Though they had fled far away.
4 Therefore I say, "Turn your eyes away from me, Let me weep bitterly, Do not try to comfort me concerning the destruction of the daughter of my people."
5 For the Lord God of hosts has a day of panic, subjugation and confusion In the valley of vision, A breaking down of walls And a crying to the mountain.
6 Elam took up the quiver With the chariots, infantry and horsemen; And Kir uncovered the shield.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
