Isaiah 21:8-10

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁸ Then he who saw^[a] cried:
“Upon a watchtower I stand, O Lord,
    continually by day,
and at my post I am stationed
    whole nights.
⁹ And behold, here come riders,
    horsemen in pairs!”
And he answered,
    “Fallen, fallen is Babylon;
and all the images of her gods
    he has shattered to the ground.”
¹⁰ O my threshed and winnowed one,
    what I have heard from the Lord of hosts,
    the God of Israel, I announce to you.
