Isaiah 21:4-10

LEB(i) 4 My mind* staggers; fear terrifies me; the twilight I desired* brought* me fear. 5 Set out the table in order! Spread out the rugs!* Eat! drink! Rise up, commanders; smear* the shield! 6 For the Lord said this to me:
"Go, set a watchman in position. He must announce what he sees. 7 When* he sees riders,* a pair of horsemen, riders* of donkeys,* riders* of camels,* then* he must listen attentively, paying attention, paying special* attention." 8 Then* the watchman* called,
"Lord, I am standing on the watchtower continually by day, and I am standing at my post throughout* the night. 9 And look at this! A man's a chariot is coming, a pair of horsemen!"
Then* he responded and said,
"It has fallen! Babylon has fallen! And all the images of her gods are* smashed on the ground!" 10 My downtrodden people and the son of my threshing floor,
I will announce to you what I have heard from Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel.
