Isaiah 21:16
For 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.
What it says
Within one year, all the glory of Kedar will come to an end.
What it is doing
This verse gives the oracle a fixed and imminent timetable.
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.”
