The Bible (sometimes The Book or Good Book; from Greek (τα) βιβλια, (ta) biblia, (the) books, plural of βιβλιον, biblion, "book", originally a diminutive of βιβλος, biblos, which in turn is derived from βυβλος—byblos, meaning "papyrus", from the ancient Phoenician city of Byblos which exported this writing material), is the classical name for the Hebrew Bible of Judaism or the combination of the Old Testament and New Testament of Christianity ("The Bible" therefore actually refers to at least two different Bibles). It is thus applied to sacred scriptures. Many Christian English speakers refer to the Christian Bible as "the good book". For many people, their Bible is the revealed word of God or an authoritative record of the relationship between God, the world, and humankind. Both Bibles have been the most widely distributed of books. It has also been translated more times, and into more languages, than any other book. The complete Bible, or portions of it, have been translated into more than 2,100 languages. It is said that more than 5 billion copies of the Bible have been sold since 1815, making it the biggest selling book of all-time.

Chapter 21

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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:

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:

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.

10: O my threshing, and the corn of my floor: that which I have heard of the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, have I declared unto you.

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

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

13: The burden upon Arabia. In the forest in Arabia shall ye lodge, O ye travelling companies of Dedanim.

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

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

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:

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.
