Isaiah 21:5-9
New King James Version
5 (A)Prepare the table,
Set a watchman in the tower,
Eat and drink.
Arise, you princes,
Anoint the shield!
6 For thus has the Lord said to me:
“Go, set a watchman,
Let him declare what he sees.”
7 And he saw a chariot with a pair of horsemen,
A chariot of donkeys, and a chariot of camels,
And he listened earnestly with great care.
8 [a]Then he cried, “A lion, my Lord!
I stand continually on the (B)watchtower in the daytime;
I have sat at my post every night.
9 And look, here comes a chariot of men with a pair of horsemen!”
Then he answered and said,
(C)“Babylon is fallen, is fallen!
And (D)all the carved images of her gods
He has broken to the ground.”
