Isaiah 21:2-9

2A grievous vision is declared unto me: the treacherous dealeth treacherously, and the spoiler spoileth. Go up, Elam! besiege, Media! All the sighing thereof have I made to cease.

3Therefore are my loins filled with pain; anguish hath taken hold upon me, as the anguish of a woman in travail: I am bowed down so as not to hear, I am dismayed so as not to see.

4My heart panteth, horror affrighteth me: the night of my pleasure hath he turned into trembling unto me.

5Prepare the table, appoint the watch; eat, drink: arise, ye princes, anoint the shield.

6For thus hath the Lord said unto me: Go, set a watchman, let him declare what he seeth.

7And he saw chariots, horsemen by pairs, a chariot with asses, a chariot with camels; and he hearkened diligently with much heed.

8And he cried [as] a lion, Lord, I stand continually upon the watchtower in the daytime, and I am set in my ward whole nights.

9— And behold, there cometh a chariot of men; horsemen by pairs. And he answered and said, Babylon is fallen, is fallen; and all the graven images of her 1gods he hath broken unto the ground.
