Isaiah 21:2-9
2A grievousH7186 visionH2380 is declaredH5046 unto me; the treacherous dealerH898 dealeth treacherouslyH898, and the spoilerH7703 spoilethH7703. Go upH5927, O ElamH5867: besiegeH6696, O MediaH4074; all the sighingH585 thereof have I made to ceaseH7673.1
3Therefore are my loinsH4975 filledH4390 with painH2479: pangsH6735 have taken holdH270 upon me, as the pangsH6735 of a woman that travailethH3205: I was bowed downH5753 at the hearingH8085 of it; I was dismayedH926 at the seeingH7200 of it.
4My heartH3824 pantedH8582, fearfulnessH6427 affrightedH1204 me: the nightH5399 of my pleasureH2837 hath he turnedH7760 into fearH2731 unto me.23
5PrepareH6186 the tableH7979, watchH6822 in the watchtowerH6844, eatH398, drinkH8354: ariseH6965, ye princesH8269, and anointH4886 the shieldH4043.
6For thus hath the LordH136 saidH559 unto me, GoH3212, setH5975 a watchmanH6822, let him declareH5046 what he seethH7200.
7And he sawH7200 a chariotH7393 with a coupleH6776 of horsemenH6571, a chariotH7393 of donkeysH2543, and a chariotH7393 of camelsH1581; and he hearkenedH7181 diligentlyH7182 with muchH7227 heedH7182:
8And he criedH7121, A lionH738: My lordH136, I standH5975 continuallyH8548 upon the watchtowerH4707 in the daytimeH3119, and I am setH5324 in my wardH4931 whole nightsH3915:45
9And, behold, here comethH935 a chariotH7393 of menH376, with a coupleH6776 of horsemenH6571. And he answeredH6030 and saidH559, BabylonH894 is fallenH5307, is fallenH5307; and all the graven imagesH6456 of her godsH430 he hath brokenH7665 unto the groundH776.
