‏ Isaiah 21:1

The destruction of Babylon by the Medes and Persians: a prophecy against the Edomites and the Arabians.

1The burden of the desert of the sea. Just as the whirlwinds approach from Africa, it approaches from the desert, from a terrible land.
21:1 The desert of the sea: So Babylon is here called, because from a city as full of people as the sea is with water, it was become a desert.(Challoner)
