Isaiah 21:5-12

LITV(i) 5 Prepare the table; watch in the watchtower; eat, drink; rise up, rulers, and anoint the shield. 6 For so the Lord has said to me: Go, set a watchman; he will declare what he sees. 7 And he sees a chariot, a couple of horsemen; a chariot of an ass; a chariot of a camel; and let him bow attentively, very attentively. 8 And he cried, A lion! My lord, I always stand on my watchtower by day; and I am stationed at my post all the nights. 9 And, behold, here comes a chariot of a man, a pair of horses. And he answered and said, Babylon has fallen, has fallen! And He has smashed the cut images of her gods to the earth. 10 Oh my threshing, and the grain of my floor! That which I have heard of Jehovah of Hosts, the God of Israel, I have told to you. 11 The burden of Dumah: He calls to me out of Seir, Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night? 12 The watchman says, The morning comes, and also night. If you would inquire, inquire. Come! Return!
