Isaiah 21:6-9

^{Tools
6} For thus the Lord says to me,

“Go, station the lookout, let him ^(A)report what he sees.

^{Tools
7}

“When he sees ^(B)riders, horsemen in pairs,
A train of donkeys, a train of camels,
Let him pay close attention, very close attention.”

^{Tools
8} Then ^(a)the lookout called,

“^(C)O Lord, I stand continually by day on the watchtower,
And I am stationed every night at my guard post.

^{Tools

“Now behold, here comes a troop of riders, horsemen in pairs.”
And one said, “^(D)Fallen, fallen is Babylon;
And all the ^(E)images of her gods ^(b)are shattered on the ground.”
