Isaiah 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.

Τὸ ὅραμα τῆς ἐρήμου. Ὡς καταιγὶς δι’ ἐρήμου διέλθοι, ἐξ ἐρήμου ἐρχομένη ἐκ γῆς· φοβερὸν

LXX

The burden of the wilderness of the sea. As whirlwinds in the South sweep through, it cometh from the wilderness, from a terrible land.
