Isaiah 21:15
For they flee from the sword—
What it says
They are fleeing the sword, the drawn bow, and the pressure of battle.
What it is doing
This verse explains the urgency of their need.
In context
13This is the burden against Arabia: 14Bring water for the thirsty, 15For they flee from the sword— 16For this is what the Lord says to me: “Within one year, as a hired worker would count it, all the glory of Kedar will be gone. 17The remaining archers, the warriors of Kedar, will be few.”
