Isaiah 21:6-11

6For this is what the Lord says to me:

“Go, post a lookoutand have him report what he sees.7When he sees chariots with teams of horsemen,riders on donkeys, riders on camels,he must be alert, fully alert.”
8Then the lookout1 shouted:
“Day after day, my lord,I stand on the watchtower;night after nightI stay at my post.9Look, here come the riders,horsemen in pairs.”
And one answered, saying:
“Fallen, fallen is Babylon!2All the images of her godslie shattered on the ground!”
10O my people, crushed on the threshing floor,I tell you what I have heardfrom the LORD of Hosts,the God of Israel.

11This is the burden against Dumah:3

One calls to me from Seir,4“Watchman, what is left of the night?Watchman, what is left of the night?”
