The Lord, my Master, told me those things would happen. The Lord said, “In one year, (the way a hired helper counts time) all Kedar’s {\cf2\super [211]} glory will be gone.
And now the Lord says, “In three years (the way a hired helper counts time) all those people and the things they are proud of will be gone. There will be a few people left, but there will not be many.”
Deserts and cities, villages of Kedar, {\cf2\super [382]} \par praise the Lord!\par People living in Sela, sing for joy!\par Sing from the top of your mountain.\par
People will collect all the sheep from Kedar\par and give them to you.\par They will bring you rams from Nebaioth.\par You will offer those animals on my altar.\par And I will accept them.\par I will make my wonderful temple {\cf2\super [452]} \par even more beautiful.\par
Go across the sea to the Islands\par of Kittim. {\cf2\super [7]} \par Send someone to the land of Kedar. {\cf2\super [8]} \par Look very carefully.\par See if any person has ever done\par something like this.\par
