Isaiah 21:1

The [mournful, inspired] oracle (a burden to be carried) concerning the Desert of the Sea (the seasonally flooded plains just south of Babylon):

So it (God’s judgment) comes from the desert, from [the hostile armies of] a terrifying land.

And His arrow will go forth like lightning;
And the Lord God will blow the trumpet
And will march in the windstorms of the south.

Of nations gathered together!
