When he sees [a]a (A)column of chariots, horsemen in pairs,
A train of donkeys, a train of camels,
He is to pay close attention, very close attention.”

Then [b]the lookout called,

(B)Lord, I stand continually by day on the watchtower,
And I am stationed every night at my guard post.
Now behold, here comes a troop of riders, horsemen in pairs.”
And one said, “(C)Fallen, fallen is Babylon;
And all the (D)images of her gods [c]are shattered on the ground.”
