Isaiah 21:2-9

2A grievous visionH2380 is declaredH5046 unto meH5046; the treacherousH898 dealer dealeth treacherouslyH898, and the spoiler spoileth. GoH5927 upH5927, O ElamH5867; besiege, O MediaH4074; allH3605 the sighingH585 thereof have I madeH3605 to ceaseH7673.

3Therefore are my loinsH4975 filledH4390 with anguishH2479; pangs have takenH270 holdH270 uponH5921 meH5921, as the pangs of a woman in travail: I am pained soH3651 that I cannot hearH8085; I am dismayedH926 soH3651 that I cannot seeH7200.

4My heartH3824 panteth, horrorH6427 hath affrighted meH7760: the twilightH5399 that I desired hath been turnedH7760 into tremblingH2731 unto meH7760.

5They prepareH6186 the tableH7979, they setH6965 the watch, they eatH398, they drinkH8354: riseH6965 upH6965, ye princesH8269, anointH4886 the shieldH4043.

6For thusH3541 hath the LordH136 saidH559 unto meH413, Go, setH5975 a watchmanH6822; letH5046 him declareH5046 whatH834 he seeth:

7and when he seeth a troop, horsemenH6571 in pairsH6776, a troop of asses, a troop of camelsH1581, he shall hearken diligently with muchH7227 heedH7181.

8And he criedH7121 as a lionH738: O LordH136, I standH5975 continuallyH8548 uponH5921 the watchtowerH4707 in the day-time, and am setH5324 in my ward wholeH3605 nightsH3915:

9and, beholdH2009, hereH2009 cometh a troopH376 of menH376, horsemenH6571 in pairsH6776. And he answeredH559 and saidH559, BabylonH894 is fallenH5307, is fallenH5307; and allH3605 the gravenH6456 imagesH6456 of herH3605 godsH430 are brokenH7665 unto the groundH776.
