“For they flee from the sword — the sword that is drawn — from the bow that is bent, and from the stress of battle.”
Isaiah 21:15 (BSB)
Context Reading
13This is the burden against Arabia: In the thickets of Arabia you must lodge, O caravans of Dedanites. 14Bring water for the thirsty, O dwellers of Tema; meet the refugees with food. 15For they flee from the sword — the sword that is drawn — from the bow that is bent, and from the stress of battle. 16For this is what the Lord says to me: “Within one year, as a hired worker would count it, all the glory of Kedar will be gone. 17The remaining archers, the warriors of Kedar, will be few.” For the LORD, the God of Israel, has spoken.
