Isaiah 21:2-12 (King James Version)
View In My Bible
2
A grievousa vision is declared unto me; the treacherous dealer dealeth treacherously , and the spoiler spoileth . Go up , O Elam: besiege , O Media; all the sighing thereof have I made to cease .
3
Therefore are my loins filled with pain: pangs have taken hold upon me, as the pangs of a woman that travaileth : I was bowed down at the hearing of it; I was dismayed at the seeing of it.
4
My heartb panted , fearfulness affrighted me: the night of my pleasure hath he turned into fear unto me.
5
Prepare the table, watch in the watchtower, eat , drink : arise , ye princes, and anoint the shield.
6
For thus hath the Lord said unto me, Go , set a watchman , let him declare what he seeth .
7
And he saw a chariot with a couple of horsemen, a chariot of asses, and a chariot of camels; and he hearkened diligently with much heed:
8
And he cried , A lion: My lord, I stand continually upon the watchtower in the daytime, and I am set in my ward whole nights:
9
And, behold, here cometh a chariot of men, with a couple of horsemen. 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 cornc of my floor: that which I have heard of the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, have I declared unto you.
11
The burden of Dumah. He calleth to me out of Seir, Watchman , what of the night? Watchman , what of the night?
12
The watchman said , The morning cometh , and also the night: if ye will enquire , enquire ye: return , come .
