Isaiah 21:6-8

New International Reader's Version

“Go. Put a guard on duty on Jerusalem’s walls.
    Have him report what he sees.
⁷ Tell him to watch for chariots
    that are pulled by teams of horses.
Tell him to watch for men riding on donkeys or camels.
    Make sure he stays awake.
    Make sure he stays wide awake.”

“Day after day I stand here on the lookout tower.
    Every night I stay here on duty.
