The oracle on Arabia, - Among the shrubs in Arabia, must ye lodge, Ye caravans of Dedanites.

To meet the thirsty, bring ye water, - Ye dwellers in the land of Tema; With bread for him, get in advance of him that is in flight!

For, before swords, have they fled: Before a sword that is drawn, Before a bow that is bent, And before the stress of war.

For, thus, hath My Lord said unto me, - Within a year according to the yearn of a hireling, shall fall all the glory of Kedar;

And, the remnant of the record of bowmen, The heroes of the sons of Kedar, shall become few; For Yahweh God of Israel, hath spoken.
