Isaiah 21:3-9

Leeser(i) 3 Therefore are my loins filled with pain; pangs have seized me, like the pangs of a woman that travaileth: I am too much cramped to hear; I am too much dismayed to see. 4 My heart wandereth astray, dread affrighteth me: the evening of my pleasure hath he turned unto me into terror. 5 Prepare the table, put on the candlesticks, eat, drink: arise, ye princes, and anoint the shield. 6 For thus hath said unto me the Lord, Go, set the watchman, what he seeth let him tell. 7 And he will see chariots, horsemen in couples, riders on asses, riders on camels; and he shall listen diligently with much heed: 8 And he calleth like a lion, Upon the watchtower, O Lord, do I stand continually in the daytime, and on my ward am I set all the nights. 9 And, behold, here cometh a chariot with men, horsemen in couples, and he commenceth and saith, Fallen, fallen is Babylon; and all the graven images of her gods hath he shivered unto the ground.
