Isaiah 21:16-17
International Standard Version
16 For this is what the Lord[a] is saying to me: “Within three years,[b] according to the years of a contract worker,[c] the pomp[d] 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.”
