Isaiah 21:13

Arabia

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?”

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

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.

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

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
