Isaiah 21:4-9
Read Isaiah 21 in full →4My heart 1reels; 2horror terrorizes me;The twilight I longed for has been aturned for me into trembling.5They aset the table, they 1spread out the cloth, they eat, they drink;“Rise up, commanders, oil the shields,”
6For thus the Lord says to me, “Go, station the lookout, let him adeclare what he sees.
7“Indeed, he shall see ariders, horsemen in pairs,Riders of donkeys, riders of camels,So let him pay close attention, very close attention.”8Then 1the lookout called, “aO Lord, I stand continually by day on the watchtower,And I am stationed every night at my guard post.
9“Now behold, here comes a troop of riders, horsemen in pairs.”And one answered and said, “aFallen, fallen is Babylon;And all the bgraven images of her gods 1are shattered on the ground.”
