Isaiah 21:5-7

Contemporary English Version

⁵ In Babylon the high officials
    were having a feast.
They were eating and drinking,
    when someone shouted,
“Officers, take your places!
    Grab your shields.”

⁶ The Lord said to me,
“Send guards
    to find out
    what's going on.
⁷ When they see cavalry troops
    and columns of soldiers
on donkeys and camels,
    tell them to be ready!”
