(A)Prepare the table,
Set a watchman in the tower,
Eat and drink.
Arise, you princes,
Anoint the shield!

A chariot of donkeys, and a chariot of camels,
And he listened earnestly with great care.

They set the tables,
    they spread the rugs,
    they eat, they drink!(A)
Get up, you officers,
    oil the shields!(B)

This is what the Lord says to me:

“Go, post a lookout(C)
    and have him report what he sees.
When he sees chariots(D)
    with teams of horses,
riders on donkeys
    or riders on camels,(E)
let him be alert,
    fully alert.”
