Isaiah 21:8-10

Common English Bible

⁸ Then the seer^[a] called out:
“Upon a watchtower, Lord,
        I’m standing all day;
    and upon my observation post
        I’m stationed throughout the night.
⁹ Here they come:
    charioteers, pairs of horsemen!”
One spoke up and said,
    “Fallen, fallen is Babylon,
        and all the images of her gods
        are shattered on the ground!”
¹⁰ Oh, my downtrodden people, threshed on my threshing floor,
    what I heard from the Lord of heavenly forces,
    the God of Israel, I reported to you.
