Isaiah 21:6-11

6ForH3588 thisH3541 is what the LordH136 saysH559 to meH413:

“GoH1980, postH5975 a lookoutH6822and have him reportH5046 whatH834 he seesH7200.7When he seesH7200 chariotsH7393 with teamsH6776 of horsemenH6571,ridersH7393 on donkeysH2543, ridersH7393 on camelsH1581,he must be alertH7181H7182, fullyH7227 alertH7182.”
8Then the lookoutH7381 shoutedH7121:
“DayH8548 after dayH3119, my lordH136,IH595 standH5975 onH5921 the watchtowerH4707;night afterH3605 nightH3915IH595 stayH5324 atH5921 my postH4931.9LookH2009, hereH2088 comeH935 the ridersH7393H376,horsemenH6571 in pairsH6776.”
And one answeredH6030, sayingH559:
“FallenH5307, fallen isH5307 BabylonH894!2AllH3605 the imagesH6456 of her godsH430lie shatteredH7665 on the groundH776!”
10O my peopleH1121, crushedH4098 on the threshing floorH1637,I tellH5046 you whatH834 I have heardH8085fromH854 the LORDH3068 of HostsH6635,the GodH430 of IsraelH3478.

11This is the burdenH4853 against DumahH1746:3

One callsH7121 to meH413 from SeirH8165,4“WatchmanH8104, what is leftH4100 of the nightH3915?WatchmanH8104, what is leftH4100 of the nightH3915?”
