Isaiah 21:5

The Fall Of Babylon

⁴ My mind reels, horror overwhelms me;
The twilight I longed for has been turned for me into trembling.
⁵ They set the table, they spread out the cloth, they eat, they drink;
“Rise up, captains, oil the shields,”
⁶ For thus the Lord says to me,
“Go, station the lookout, let him report what he sees.

Eating and Drinking

Our Shield

Prepare a Table

Prepare For Battle

Bring up the horses like bristly locusts.
