Introduction
Overview
Isaiah 21 . 1 , The prophet , bewailing the captivity of his people , sees in a vision the fall of Babylon by the Medes and Persians; Isaiah 21 . 11 , Edom , scorning the prophet , is moved to repentance; Isaiah 21 . 13 , The set time of Arabia’s calamity.
The burden . The first ten #### Verses of this chapter contain a prediction of the taking of Babylon by the Medes and Persians; which is here denominated "the desert of the sea ," because the country around it , and especially towards the sea , was a great morass , often overflowed by the Tigris and Euphrates , and only rendered habitable by being drained by a number of canals.

Dumah . Dumah is probably the same as Dumatha , a city of Arabia , mentioned by Stephanus , and the modern Dumah and Dumathalgandel , on the borders of Arabia and Syria , in a rocky valley. The Edomites , says Bp. Lowth , as well as Jews , were subdued by the Babylonians. They enquire of the prophet how long their subjection is to last; he intimates that the Jews should be delivered from their captivity; not so the Edomites. "The morning cometh , and also the night."
