4My 1mindH3824 reelsH8582, 2horrorH6427 overwhelmsH1204 me; The twilightH5399 I longedH2837 for has been 3turnedH7760 for me into tremblingH2731.5They 4setH6186 the tableH7979, they 5spreadH6823 out the clothH6844, they eatH398, they drinkH8354; “RiseH6965 up, captainsH8269, oilH4886 the shieldsH4043,” 6For thusH3541 the LordH136 saysH559 to me, “GoH1980, stationH5975 the lookoutH6822, let him 6reportH5046 whatH834 he seesH7200.7When he seesH7200 7ridersH7393, horsemenH6571 in pairsH6776, A trainH7393 of donkeysH2543, a trainH7393 of camelsH1581, Let him payH7181 closeH7182 attentionH7181, veryH7227 closeH7182 attentionH7182.” 8Then 8the lookoutH4707 calledH7121, “9O LordH136, I standH5975 continuallyH8548 by dayH3119 on the watchtowerH4707, And I am stationedH5324 everyH3605 nightH3915 at my guardH4931 postH4931.9Now beholdH2009, hereH2088 comesH935 a troopH376 of ridersH7393, horsemenH6571 in pairsH6776.” And one saidH559, “10FallenH5307, fallenH5307 is BabylonH894; And allH3605 the 11imagesH6456 of her godsH430 12are shatteredH7665 on the groundH776.”
