Isaiah 21:15-17
International Standard Version
15 For he has fled[a] from swords,
from the drawn sword,
from the bent bow,
and from the heat of battle.”
16 For this is what the Lord[b] is saying to me: “Within three years,[c] according to the years of a contract worker,[d] the pomp[e] of Kedar will come to an end. 17 And there will be few archers, those who are descendants of Kedar, who survive, because the Lord, the God of Israel, has spoken.”
