The burden of the desert of the sea. As whirlwinds in the south pass through; so it cometh from the desert, from a terrible land.

The burden upon Arabia. In the forest in Arabia shall ye lodge, O ye travelling companies of Dedanim. Jer 25:23The inhabitants of the land of Tema brought water to him that was thirsty, they prevented with their bread him that fled.21.14 brought: or, bring ye Gen 25:3; Gen 25:15For they fled from the swords, from the drawn sword, and from the bent bow, and from the grievousness of war.21.15 from the swords: or, for fear, etc: Heb. from the face, etc For thus hath the Lord said unto me, Within a year, according to the years of an hireling, and all the glory of Kedar shall fail: Isa 16:14; Jer 49:28And the residue of the number of archers, the mighty men of the children of Kedar, shall be diminished: for the LORD God of Israel hath spoken it.21.17 archers: Heb. bowsIsa 22:25; Isa 25:8
