6 For thus my Lord said to me: Go, station a watchman, let him tell what he sees.

7 If he sees a chariot, a pair of horses, Someone riding a donkey, someone riding a camel, Then let him pay heed, very close heed.

8 Then the watchman cried, “On the watchtower, my Lord, I stand constantly by day; And I stay at my post through all the watches of the night.

9 Here he comes— a single chariot, a pair of horses— He calls out and says, ‘Fallen, fallen is Babylon! All the images of her gods are smashed to the ground!’”
