Isaiah 21:14-16
New Catholic Bible
14 Bring water to the thirsty
and greet the fugitives with bread,
you inhabitants of the land of Tema.[a]
15 For they have fled from the sword,
from the sharp edge of the drawn sword,
from the bent bow,
and from the stress of battles.
16 For these are the words spoken to me by the Lord: Within a year, as a hired worker reckons time, all the glory of Kedar[b] will come to an end.

Isaiah 21:14-16
New International Version
14 bring water for the thirsty;
you who live in Tema,(A)
bring food for the fugitives.
15 They flee(B) from the sword,(C)
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(D) would count it, all the splendor(E) of Kedar(F) will come to an end.
