5. They prepare the table, they set the watch, they eat, they drink: rise up, ye princes, anoint the shield.

6. For thus hath the Lord said unto me, Go, set a watchman; let him declare what he seeth:

7. and when he seeth a troop, horsemen in pairs, a troop of asses, a troop of camels, he shall hearken diligently with much heed.

8. And he cried as a lion: O Lord, I stand continually upon the watchtower in the day-time, and am set in my ward whole nights:

9. and, behold, here cometh a troop of men, horsemen in pairs. And he answered and said, Babylon is fallen, is fallen; and all the graven images of her gods are broken unto the ground.

10. O thou my threshing, and the corn of my floor: that which I have heard from the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, have I declared unto you.

11. The burden of Dumah. One calleth unto me out of Seir, Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night?
