Isaiah 21:4-6
Contemporary English Version
4 My head spins; I'm horrified!
Early evening, my favorite time,
has become a nightmare.
5 In Babylon the high officials
were having a feast.
They were eating and drinking,
when someone shouted,
“Officers, take your places!
Grab your shields.”
6 The Lord said to me,
“Send guards
to find out
what's going on.

Isaiah 21:4-6
New International Version
4 My heart(A) falters,
fear makes me tremble;(B)
the twilight I longed for
has become a horror(C) to me.
5 They set the tables,
they spread the rugs,
they eat, they drink!(D)
Get up, you officers,
oil the shields!(E)
6 This is what the Lord says to me:
“Go, post a lookout(F)
and have him report what he sees.
