Isaiah 21:4-9
4 My ▼▼Lit heart has wandered
mind reels, ▼▼Lit shuddering
horror overwhelms me; The twilight I longed for has been cturned into trembling for me.
5 They dset the table, they ▼
▼Or spread out the rugs or possibly they arranged the seating
spread out the cloth, they eat, they drink; “Rise up, captains, oil the shields!”
6 For this is what the Lord says to me:
“Go, station the lookout, have him freport what he sees.
7 “When he sees ▼
▼Or riders
a hcolumn of chariots, horsemen in pairs, A train of donkeys, a train of camels,
He is to pay close attention, very close attention.”
8 Then ▼
▼As in DSS; MT he called like a lion
the lookout called, “ jLord, I stand continually by day on the watchtower,
And I am stationed every night at my guard post.
9 “Now behold, here comes a troop of riders, horsemen in pairs.”
And one said, “ kFallen, fallen is Babylon;
And all the limages of her gods ▼
▼Lit he has shattered to the earth
are shattered on the ground.”
