5. Look! They are preparing a great feast.They are spreading rugs for people to sit on.Everyone is eating and drinking.But quick! Grab your shields and prepare for battle.You are being attacked!
6. Meanwhile, the Lord said to me,“Put a watchman on the city wall.Let him shout out what he sees.
7. He should look for chariotsdrawn by pairs of horses,and for riders on donkeys and camels.Let the watchman be fully alert.”
