Isaiah 21:5 BBE

³  For this cause I am full of bitter grief; pains like the pains of a woman in childbirth have come on me: I am bent down with sorrow at what comes to my ears; I am shocked by what I see.

⁴  My mind is wandering, fear has overcome me: the evening of my desire has been turned into shaking for me.

⁵  They make ready the table, they put down the covers, they take food and drink. Up! you captains; put oil on your breastplates.

⁶  For so has the Lord said to me, Go, let a watchman be placed; let him give word of what he sees:

⁷  And when he sees war-carriages, horsemen by twos, war-carriages with asses, war-carriages with camels, let him give special attention.
