Isaiah 21:15-17
Lexham English Bible
15 For they have fled from the swords,
from the drawn sword and the bent bow,
and from the heaviness of the battle.
16 For the Lord said this to me:
“In one more year,[a] like the years of a hired worker,
all the glory of Kedar will come to an end.
17 And the remainder of the number of the bows[b] of the warriors of the sons of Kedar will be few.”
For Yahweh, the God of Israel, has spoken.

New International Version
15 They flee(A) from the sword,(B)
from the drawn sword,
from the bent bow
and from the heat of battle.
16 This is what the Lord says to me: “Within one year, as a servant bound by contract(C) would count it, all the splendor(D) of Kedar(E) will come to an end. 17 The survivors of the archers, the warriors of Kedar, will be few.(F)” The Lord, the God of Israel, has spoken.(G)
