Isaiah 21:5-12

VIN(i) 5 They set the table, they spread out the cloth, they eat, they drink; Rise up, captains, oil the shields, 6 For this is what the LORD says to me: "Go, station the lookout, and let him report what he sees. 7 When he sees chariots, horsemen in pairs, riders on donkeys, riders on camels, let him listen diligently, very diligently." 8 Then the lookout shouted: "Lord, I stand continually on the watchtower in the daytime, and every night I stay at my post. 9 "Look! Here come chariots and horsemen in pairs. Then he said: 'Babylon has fallen! She has fallen! All the idols they worship lie shattered on the ground.'" 10 My downtrodden people and the son of my threshing floor, I will announce to you what I have heard from the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel. 11 The burden concerning Dumah. He calls to me from Seir, Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night? 12 The watchman replies: "Morning is coming, but also the night. If you would ask, then ask; and come back yet again."
