A vision of fear comes before my eyes; the worker of deceit goes on in his false way, and the waster goes on making waste. Up! Elam; to the attack! Media; I have put an end to her sorrow.

For so has the Lord said to me, Go, let a watchman be placed; let him give word of what he sees:

7 and to see: see chariot pair horseman chariot donkey chariot camel and to listen attentiveness many attentiveness

And when he sees war-carriages, horsemen by twos, war-carriages with asses, war-carriages with camels, let him give special attention.

8 and to call: call out lion upon lookout Lord I to stand: stand continually by day and upon charge my I to stand all [the] night

And the watchman gave a loud cry, O my lord, I am on the watchtower all day, and am placed in my watch every night:

The word about Edom. A voice comes to me from Seir, Watchman, how far gone is the night? how far gone is the night?

12 to say to keep: guard to come morning and also night if to enquire [emph?] to enquire to return: again to come

The watchman says, The morning has come, but night is still to come: if you have questions to put, put them, and come back again.

15 for from face: before sword to wander from face: before sword to leave and from face: before bow to tread and from face: before heaviness battle

For they are in flight from the sharp sword, and the bent bow, and from the trouble of war.

And the rest of the bowmen, the men of war of the children of Kedar, will be small in number: for the Lord, the God of Israel, has said it.
