KJV ¹ 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.

VULC ¹ Onus deserti maris. [Sicut turbines ab africo veniunt,
de deserto venit,
de terra horribili.

KJV ² A grievous vision is declared unto me; the treacherous dealer dealeth treacherously, and the spoiler spoileth. Go up, O Elam: besiege, O Media; all the sighing thereof have I made to cease.

VULC ² Visio dura nuntiata est mihi :
qui incredulus est infideliter agit ;
et qui depopulator est vastat.
Ascende, Ælam ; obside, Mede ;
omnem gemitum ejus cessare feci.

WLC ² חָז֥וּת קָשָׁ֖ה הֻגַּד־ לִ֑י הַבּוֹגֵ֤ד ׀ בּוֹגֵד֙ וְהַשּׁוֹדֵ֣ד ׀ שׁוֹדֵ֔ד עֲלִ֤י עֵילָם֙ צוּרִ֣י מָדַ֔י כָּל־ אַנְחָתָ֖ה הִשְׁבַּֽתִּי׃

KJV ³ Therefore are my loins filled with pain: pangs have taken hold upon me, as the pangs of a woman that travaileth: I was bowed down at the hearing of it; I was dismayed at the seeing of it.

VULC ³ Propterea repleti sunt lumbi mei dolore ;
angustia possedit me
sicut angustia parturientis ;
corrui cum audirem, conturbatus sum cum viderem.

WLC ³ עַל־ כֵּ֗ן מָלְא֤וּ מָתְנַי֙ חַלְחָלָ֔ה צִירִ֣ים אֲחָז֔וּנִי כְּצִירֵ֖י יֽוֹלֵדָ֑ה נַעֲוֵ֣יתִי מִשְּׁמֹ֔עַ נִבְהַ֖לְתִּי מֵרְאֽוֹת׃

KJV ⁴ My heart panted, fearfulness affrighted me: the night of my pleasure hath he turned into fear unto me.

VULC ⁴ Emarcuit cor meum ;
tenebræ stupefecerunt me :
Babylon dilecta mea
posita est mihi in miraculum.

WLC ⁴ תָּעָ֣ה לְבָבִ֔י פַּלָּצ֖וּת בִּֽעֲתָ֑תְנִי אֵ֚ת נֶ֣שֶׁף חִשְׁקִ֔י שָׂ֥ם לִ֖י לַחֲרָדָֽה׃

KJV ⁵ Prepare the table, watch in the watchtower, eat, drink: arise, ye princes, and anoint the shield.

KJV ⁶ For thus hath the LORD said unto me, Go, set a watchman, let him declare what he seeth.

VULC ⁶ Hæc enim dixit mihi Dominus :
Vade, et pone speculatorem,
et quodcumque viderit annuntiet.

WLC ⁶ כִּ֣י כֹ֥ה אָמַ֛ר אֵלַ֖י אֲדֹנָ֑י לֵ֚ךְ הַעֲמֵ֣ד הַֽמְצַפֶּ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר יִרְאֶ֖ה יַגִּֽיד׃

KJV ⁷ And he saw a chariot with a couple of horsemen, a chariot of asses, and a chariot of camels; and he hearkened diligently with much heed:

VULC ⁷ Et vidit currum duorum equitum,
ascensorem asini,
et ascensorem cameli ;
et contemplatus est diligenter multo intuitu.

WLC ⁷ וְרָ֣אָה רֶ֗כֶב צֶ֚מֶד פָּֽרָשִׁ֔ים רֶ֥כֶב חֲמ֖וֹר רֶ֣כֶב גָּמָ֑ל וְהִקְשִׁ֥יב קֶ֖שֶׁב רַב־ קָֽשֶׁב׃

KJV ⁸ And he cried, A lion: My lord, I stand continually upon the watchtower in the daytime, and I am set in my ward whole nights:

VULC ⁸ Et clamavit leo :
Super speculam Domini ego sum,
stans jugiter per diem ;
et super custodiam meam ego sum,
stans totis noctibus.

WLC ⁸ וַיִּקְרָ֖א אַרְיֵ֑ה עַל־ מִצְפֶּ֣ה ׀ אֲדֹנָ֗י אָנֹכִ֞י עֹמֵ֤ד תָּמִיד֙ יוֹמָ֔ם וְעַל־ מִ֨שְׁמַרְתִּ֔י אָנֹכִ֥י נִצָּ֖ב כָּל־ הַלֵּילֽוֹת׃

KJV ⁹ And, behold, here cometh a chariot of men, with a couple of horsemen. And he answered and said, Babylon is fallen, is fallen; and all the graven images of her gods he hath broken unto the ground.

VULC ⁹ Ecce iste venit ascensor
vir bigæ equitum ;
et respondit, et dixit :
Cecidit, cecidit Babylon,
et omnia sculptilia deorum ejus
contrita sunt in terram.

WLC ⁹ וְהִנֵּה־ זֶ֥ה בָא֙ רֶ֣כֶב אִ֔ישׁ צֶ֖מֶד פָּֽרָשִׁ֑ים וַיַּ֣עַן וַיֹּ֗אמֶר נָפְלָ֤ה נָֽפְלָה֙ בָּבֶ֔ל וְכָל־ פְּסִילֵ֥י אֱלֹהֶ֖יהָ שִׁבַּ֥ר לָאָֽרֶץ׃

Deo Israël,
annuntiavi vobis.]

WLC ¹⁰ מְדֻשָׁתִ֖י וּבֶן־ גָּרְנִ֑י אֲשֶׁ֣ר שָׁמַ֗עְתִּי מֵאֵ֨ת יְהוָ֧ה צְבָא֛וֹת אֱלֹהֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל הִגַּ֥דְתִּי לָכֶֽם׃

KJV ¹¹ The burden of Dumah. He calleth to me out of Seir, Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night?

Custos, quid de nocte ?
custos, quid de nocte ?

WLC ¹¹ מַשָּׂ֖א דּוּמָ֑ה אֵלַי֙ קֹרֵ֣א מִשֵּׂעִ֔יר שֹׁמֵר֙ מַה־ מִלַּ֔יְלָה שֹׁמֵ֖ר מַה־ מִלֵּֽיל׃

KJV ¹² The watchman said, The morning cometh, and also the night: if ye will enquire, enquire ye: return, come.

VULC ¹² Dixit custos :
Venit mane et nox ;
si quæritis, quærite ;
convertimini, venite.]

WLC ¹² אָמַ֣ר שֹׁמֵ֔ר אָתָ֥ה בֹ֖קֶר וְגַם־ לָ֑יְלָה אִם־ תִּבְעָי֥וּן בְּעָ֖יוּ שֻׁ֥בוּ אֵתָֽיוּ׃

KJV ¹⁴ The inhabitants of the land of Tema brought water to him that was thirsty, they prevented with their bread him that fled.

VULC ¹⁴ Occurrentes sitienti ferte aquam,
qui habitatis terram austri ;
cum panibus occurrite fugienti.

WLC ¹⁴ לִקְרַ֥את צָמֵ֖א הֵתָ֣יוּ מָ֑יִם יֹשְׁבֵי֙ אֶ֣רֶץ תֵּימָ֔א בְּלַחְמ֖וֹ קִדְּמ֥וּ נֹדֵֽד׃

KJV ¹⁵ For they fled from the swords, from the drawn sword, and from the bent bow, and from the grievousness of war.

VULC ¹⁵ A facie enim gladiorum fugerunt,
a facie gladii imminentis,
a facie arcus extenti,
a facie gravis prælii.

WLC ¹⁵ כִּֽי־ מִפְּנֵ֥י חֲרָב֖וֹת נָדָ֑דוּ מִפְּנֵ֣י ׀ חֶ֣רֶב נְטוּשָׁ֗ה וּמִפְּנֵי֙ קֶ֣שֶׁת דְּרוּכָ֔ה וּמִפְּנֵ֖י כֹּ֥בֶד מִלְחָמָֽה׃

KJV ¹⁶ 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:

VULC ¹⁶ Quoniam hæc dicit Dominus ad me :
Adhuc in uno anno, quasi in anno mercenarii,
et auferetur omnis gloria Cedar.

KJV ¹⁷ And 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.

VULC ¹⁷ Et reliquiæ numeri sagittariorum fortium
de filiis Cedar imminuentur ;
Dominus enim Deus Israël locutus est.]

WLC ¹⁷ וּשְׁאָ֧ר מִסְפַּר־ קֶ֛שֶׁת גִּבּוֹרֵ֥י בְנֵֽי־ קֵדָ֖ר יִמְעָ֑טוּ כִּ֛י יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֵֽי־ יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל דִּבֵּֽר׃
