Isaiah 21:12
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.
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?”
The watchman replies, “Morning has come, but also the night. If you would inquire, then inquire. Come back yet again.”
13 This is the burden against Arabia: In the thickets of Arabia you must lodge, O caravans of Dedanites.
14 Bring water for the thirsty, O dwellers of Tema; meet the refugees with food.
Dette ble sagt til Israel i en bestemt tid, så det er lurt å lese det sammen med teksten rundt. Les gjerne versene rundt også, for sammenhengen gir ofte mer enn ett vers alene.
