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 Desvaría mi mente, el espanto me sobrecoge; el anochecer que anhelaba se me convirtió en terror.

5 Ponen la mesa, extienden el mantel, comen, beben. ¡Levantaos, capitanes, engrasad los escudos!,

6 porque así me ha dicho el Señor: Ve, pon centinela que dé aviso de lo que vea.

7 Cuando vea hombres montados, jinetes de dos en dos, filas de asnos, filas de camellos, que preste mucha atención, muchísima atención.

8 Entonces el centinela gritó: Oh Señor, de día estoy yo continuamente en la atalaya, y todas las noches permanezco en mi puesto de guardia.
