Isaiah 21:4-6

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁴My mind reels; horror has appalled me;
    the twilight I longed for
    has been turned for me into trembling.^(A)
⁵They prepare the table;
    they spread the rugs;
    they eat; they drink.
Rise up, commanders;
    oil the shield!^(B)
⁶For thus the Lord said to me:
“Go, post a lookout;
    let him announce what he sees.
