Isaiah 21:6-10
King James Version
6 For thus hath the Lord said unto me, Go, set a watchman, let him declare what he seeth.
7 And he saw a chariot with a couple of horsemen, a chariot of asses, and a chariot of camels; and he hearkened diligently with much heed:
8 And he cried, A lion: My lord, I stand continually upon the watchtower in the daytime, and I am set in my ward whole nights:
9 And, behold, here cometh a chariot of men, with a couple of horsemen. And he answered and said, Babylon is fallen, is fallen; and all the graven images of her gods he hath broken unto the ground.
10 O my threshing, and the corn of my floor: that which I have heard of the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, have I declared unto you.

Isaiah 21:6-10
New International Version
6 This is what the Lord says to me:
“Go, post a lookout(A)
and have him report what he sees.
7 When he sees chariots(B)
with teams of horses,
riders on donkeys
or riders on camels,(C)
let him be alert,
fully alert.”
8 And the lookout[a](D) 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(E)
with a team of horses.
And he gives back the answer:
‘Babylon(F) has fallen,(G) has fallen!
All the images of its gods(H)
lie shattered(I) on the ground!’”
10 My people who are crushed on the threshing floor,(J)
I tell you what I have heard
from the Lord Almighty,
from the God of Israel.
