Isaiah 21:8-10

Expanded Bible

⁸ Then the lookout^[a] called out,
“My master, each day I stand in the watchtower watching;
    every night I ·have been on guard [stand at my post].
⁹ Look, I see a man coming in a chariot
    with a team of horses.”
The man gives back the answer,
    “Babylon has fallen. It has fallen [Jer. 51:8; Rev. 14:8; 18:2]!
All the ·statues [idols; carved images] of her gods
    lie ·broken [shattered] on the ground.”
¹⁰ My ·people are crushed like grain on the threshing floor [^Ltrampled one, and son of the threshing floor].
    My people, I tell you what I have heard
from the Lord ·All-Powerful [Almighty; of Heaven’s Armies; ^Tof hosts],
    from the God of Israel.
