When he sees riders, horsemen in pairs,
    riders on donkeys, riders on camels,
let him listen diligently,
    very diligently.”
Then he who saw cried out:[a]
(A)“Upon a watchtower I stand, O Lord,
    continually by day,
and at my post I am stationed
    whole nights.
And behold, here come riders,
    horsemen in pairs!”
(B)And he answered,
    (C)“Fallen, fallen is Babylon;
(D)and all the carved images of her gods
    he has shattered to the ground.”
