Isaiah 21:4-9
New King James Version

4 My heart wavered, fearfulness frightened me;
(A)The night for which I longed He turned into fear for me.
5 (B)Prepare the table,
Set a watchman in the tower,
Eat and drink.
Arise, you princes,
Anoint the shield!

6 For thus has the Lord said to me:
“Go, set a watchman,
Let him declare what he sees.”
7 And he saw a chariot with a pair of horsemen,
A chariot of donkeys, and a chariot of camels,
And he listened earnestly with great care.
8 [a]Then he cried, “A lion, my Lord!
I stand continually on the (C)watchtower in the daytime;
I have sat at my post every night.
9 And look, here comes a chariot of men with a pair of horsemen!”
Then he answered and said,
(D)“Babylon is fallen, is fallen!
And (E)all the carved images of her gods
He has broken to the ground.”

    has become a horror(C) to me.

5 They set the tables,
    they spread the rugs,

Get up, you officers,

6 This is what the Lord says to me:

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

8 And the lookout[a](I) shouted,

“Day after day, my lord, I stand on the watchtower;
    every night I stay at my post.
9 Look, here comes a man in a chariot(J)
    with a team of horses.
And he gives back the answer:
    ‘Babylon(K) has fallen,(L) has fallen!
