Isaiah 21:5-7

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁵ They prepare the table,
    they spread the rugs,
    they eat, they drink.
Arise, O princes,
    oil the shield!
⁶ For thus the Lord said to me:
“Go, set a watchman,
    let him announce what he sees.
⁷ When he sees riders, horsemen in pairs,
    riders on asses, riders on camels,
let him listen diligently,
    very diligently.”
