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 O meu coração se estremece,o temor toma conta de mim;o anoitecer que eu tanto aguardavatransformou-se em terror para mim.

5 Eles põem as mesas, estendem a toalha,comem, bebem!Levantem-se, líderes,preparem os escudos!

6 Assim me diz o Senhor:“Vá, coloque um vigia de prontidãopara que anuncie tudo o que se aproximar.

7 Quando ele vir carroscom parelhas de cavalos,homens montados em jumentosou em camelos,fique alerta, bem alerta”.

8 Então o vigia gritou:“Dia após dia, meu senhor, eu fico na torre das sentinelas;todas as noites permaneço em meu posto.
