Isaiah 21:4-6

New Catholic Bible

⁴ My mind reels,
    and I am overcome with dread;
the twilight I yearned for
    has become horrifying to me.
⁵ They set the table;
    they spread out the rugs;
    they eat and they drink.
Rise up, O princes;
    oil your shields.
⁶ For this is what the Lord has said to me:
    Go forth and post a lookout;
    let him report what he sees.
