Isaiah 21:13-1964 in the Bible in Basic English reads: “The word about Arabia. In the thick woods of Arabia will be your night's resting-place, O travelling bands of Dedanites! Give water to him who is in need of water; give bread, O men of the land of Tema, to those in flight. For they are in flight from the sharp sword, and the bent bow, and from the trouble of war. For so has the Lord said to me, In a year, by the years of a servant working for payment, all the glory of Kedar will come to an end: And the rest of the bowmen, the men of war of the children of Kedar, will be small in number: for the Lord, the God of Israel, has said it.”

Isaiah 21:13-1964 is found in the Old Testament, in the book of Isaiah, chapter 21, verses 13–1964.

Isaiah is traditionally attributed to Isaiah son of Amoz. Many critical scholars propose multiple authors ("Deutero-" and "Trito-Isaiah") for chapters 40–66; conservative scholarship holds to single Isaianic authorship. It was written c. 740–680 BC.

Isaiah is the most quoted prophet in the New Testament — a sweeping vision of God's holiness, Judah's sin, coming judgment, and a promised Servant who would bear the iniquity of many. From "Holy, holy, holy" to "by his stripes we are healed," Isaiah speaks the gospel before the gospel.

Isaiah explores themes including Holiness, Judgment, Servant of the LORD, Hope, Salvation, Restoration. These themes shape the meaning and context of Isaiah 21:13-1964.

Give water to him who is in need of water; give bread, O men of the land of Tema, to those in flight. For they are in flight from the sharp sword, and the bent bow, and from the trouble of war. For so has the Lord said to me, In a year, by the years of a servant working for payment, all the glory of Kedar will come to an end: And the rest of the bowmen, the men of war of the children of Kedar, will be small in number: for the Lord, the God of Israel, has said it.” Read it aloud, break it into short phrases, repeat each phrase three times before adding the next, then put the phrases together.
