Isaiah 21:8-10

New Catholic Bible

⁸ Then the lookout shouted,
    “I stand on the watchtower, O Lord,
    all day long,
and I remain stationed at my post
    throughout the night.
⁹ Behold, here come the cavalry now,
    horsemen riding in pairs.”
Then the Lord responded:
    Fallen, fallen is Babylon,
and all the images of her gods
    have been smashed to the ground.
¹⁰ O my people,
    you who have been trodden
    upon the threshing floor,
what I have heard from the Lord of hosts,
    from the God of Israel,
    I have proclaimed to you.
