Isaias

4 My heart wandereth, horror affrighteth me; the twilight of my desire hath he turned into trembling for me.

5 They prepare the table, they set the watch, eat, drink. Arise, ye princes, anoint the shield.

6 For thus bath the Lord said unto me, Go, place the watchman; what he shall see, let him declare.

7 And he saw a troop, horsemen in pairs, a troop of asses, a troop of camels; and he hearkened with utmost hearkenings.

8 And he cried (as) a lion, O Lord, I stand continually upon the watchtower by day, and I am placed at my post all the nights:

9 And behold there cometh a troop of men, horsemen in pairs; and he answered and said, Babylon is fallen, is fallen; and all the (graven) images of her gods he hath broken unto the ground.

10 O my threshing, and the son of my (threshing) floor; that which I have heard from the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, have I declared unto you.

11 The burden of Dumah.

One crieth to me out of Seir: Watchman, what (hour) of the night? Watchman, what (hour) of the night?

12 The watchman said, Morning cometh, and also night. If ye will inquire, inquire ye; return, come.

13 The burden upon Arabia.

In the forest in Arabia shall ye lodge, ye caravans of Dedanim.

14 Bring ye water, to meet him that is thirsty; the inhabitants of the land of Tema welcome the fugitive with his bread.
