(A)In a moment, in one day:

They shall come upon you in their fullness
Because of the multitude of your sorceries,
For the great abundance of your enchantments.
Isaiah 21:4-9

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.”
