Set out the table in order!
    Spread out the rugs![a]
    Eat! drink!
Rise up, commanders;
    smear[b] the shield!

For the Lord said this to me:

“Go, set a watchman in position.
    He must announce what he sees.
When[c] he sees riders,[d]
    a pair of horsemen,
riders[e] of donkeys,[f]
    riders[g] of camels,[h]
then[i] he must listen attentively,
    paying attention, paying special[j] attention.”
