The watchman [a] called,
“Sir, I stand on the watchtower every day.
Every night, I stand guard at my post.
Look! Here come chariots and horsemen in pairs.”
Then he said,
“Babylon has fallen! It has fallen!
All the idols they worship lie shattered on the ground.”

10 You, my people, have been threshed and winnowed.[b]
I make known to you what I heard from the Lord of Armies,
the God of Israel.
