Isaiah 21:2-9 Is the vision, and hard, that was proclaimed to me. He that setteth at nought doth set at nought, and he that transgresseth doth transgress. ¶ The Elamites are upon me, and the envoys of the Persians are coming against me. Now will I mourn, and will comfort myself.

Ottley⁽ⁱ⁾ ² Is the vision, and hard, that was proclaimed to me. He that setteth at nought doth set at nought, and he that transgresseth doth transgress. ¶ The Elamites are upon me, and the envoys of the Persians are coming against me. Now will I mourn, and will comfort myself. ³ Therefore are my loins filled with faintness, and pangs have taken hold of me, as her that travaileth; I did wrong, so as not to hear, I laboured earnestly so as not to see. ⁴ My heart wandereth, and my transgression overwhelmeth me; my soul turneth to fear. ⁵ Prepare the table, eat, drink; stand up, ye rulers, and prepare shields. ⁶ For thus saith the Lord to me, Go, set thee a watchman, and whatsoever thou seest, tell it. ⁷ And I saw two mounted horsemen, one mounted on an ass, and one mounted on a camel. Hear with diligent hearing, ⁸ And call Uriah to the watch tower of the Lord. And he said, I have stood continually by day, and over the camp I stood the whole night, ⁹ And behold, he himself cometh, mounted on a two-horse chariot. And he answered and said, Babylon is fallen: and all her images and the works of her hands are crushed into the earth.
