Hebrew Bible, Isaias, Ottley, Cambridge, 1904

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.
