6
For thus the Lord said to me: "Go, set a watchman, let him announce what he sees.
7
When he sees riders, horsemen in pairs, riders on asses, riders on camels, let him listen diligently, very diligently."
8
Then he who saw cried: "Upon a watchtower I stand, O Lord, continually by day, and at my post I am stationed whole nights.
9
And, behold, here come riders, horsemen in pairs!" And he answered, "Fallen, fallen is Babylon; and all the images of her gods he has shattered to the ground."
10
O my threshed and winnowed one, what I have heard from the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, I announce to you.
