Isaías 21:6 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 21:6

For thus hath the Lord said unto me
This is a confirmation of the above prophecy from the Lord himself, he showing to the prophet, in a visionary way, the ruin of Babylon, and the means and instruments of it: go, set a watchman;
not Habakkuk, as Jarchi; nor Urias, as the Septuagint; nor Jeremiah, as others; but himself, who, in a way of vision, represented a watchman on the walls of Babylon; and which was no way unsuitable to his character and office as a prophet: let him declare what he seeth;
what he sees coming at a distance, or at hand, let him faithfully and publicly make it known: these are not the words of the king of Babylon to one of his watchmen; but of the Lord of hosts to his prophet.

Isaías 21:6 In-Context

4 Se me turba la mente,me hace temblar el terror;el crepúsculo tan anheladose me ha vuelto un espanto.

5 ¡Ellos tienden las mesas,extienden los tapices,y comen y beben!¡Jefes, pónganse de pie!¡Levántense y engrasen los escudos!

6 Porque así me ha dicho el SEÑOR:«Ve y pon un centinela,que informe de todo lo que vea.

7 Cuando vea carros de combate tirados por caballos,o gente montada en asnos o en camellos,que preste atención,mucha atención».

8 Y el centinela gritó:«¡Día tras día, Señor,estoy de pie en la torre;cada noche permanezcoen mi puesto de guardia!
