6 For this is what the sovereign master has told me: |Go, post a guard! He must report what he sees. 7 When he sees chariots, teams of horses, riders on donkeys, riders on camels, he must be alert, very alert.| 8 Then the guard cries out: |On the watchtower, O sovereign master, I stand all day long; at my post I am stationed every night. 9 Look what's coming! A charioteer, a team of horses.| When questioned, he replies, |Babylon has fallen, fallen! All the idols of her gods lie shattered on the ground!| Isaiah 21:6-9, New English Translation.
