The twilight I longed for has been turned for me into trembling. 5They set the table, theyg Or spread out the rugs or possibly they arranged the seatingspread out the cloth, they eat, they drink;
“Rise up, captains, oil the shields,” |
6 For thus the Lord says to me,“Go, station the lookout, let him report what he sees.7“When he sees riders, horsemen in pairs,
A train of donkeys, a train of camels,
Let him pay close attention, very close attention.” |

And one said, “Fallen, fallen is Babylon;
And all the images of her godsi Lit he has shattered to the earthare shattered on the ground.” |
