This is what the Lord says to me: “Go, post a lookout and have him report what he sees.
7
When he sees chariots with teams of horses, riders on donkeys or riders on camels, let him be alert, fully alert.”
8
And the lookout[a] shouted, “Day after day, my lord, I stand on the watchtower; every night I stay at my post.
9
Look, here comes a man in a chariot with a team of horses. And he gives back the answer: ‘Babylon has fallen, has fallen! All the images of its gods lie shattered on the ground!’ ”
10
My people who are crushed on the threshing floor, I tell you what I have heard from the LORD Almighty, from the God of Israel.
