Isaiah 21:6-11

6This is what the Lord says to me: Post a watchman. Have him report whatever he sees.

7He will see chariots, pairs of horsemen, riders on donkeys, and riders on camels. Let him watch carefully, very carefully.

8The watchman  called, “Sir, I stand on the watchtower every day. Every night, I stand guard at my post.

9Look! Here come chariots and horsemen in pairs.” Then he said, “Babylon has fallen! It has fallen! All the idols they worship lie shattered on the ground.”

10You, my people, have been threshed and winnowed. I make known to you what I heard from the Lord of Armies, the God of Israel.

11This is the divine revelation about Dumah. Someone is calling to me from Seir, “Watchman, how much of the night is left? Watchman, how much of the night is left?”
