Isaiah 21:4-6

Revised Standard Version

⁴ My mind reels, horror has appalled me;
    the twilight I longed for
    has been turned for me into trembling.
⁵ They prepare the table,
    they spread the rugs,
    they eat, they drink.
Arise, O princes,
    oil the shield!
⁶ For thus the Lord said to me:
“Go, set a watchman,
    let him announce what he sees.
