When he sees chariots(A)
    with teams of horses,
riders on donkeys
    or riders on camels,(B)
let him be alert,
    fully alert.”

And the lookout[a](C) shouted,

“Day after day, my lord, I stand on the watchtower;
    every night I stay at my post.
Look, here comes a man in a chariot(D)
    with a team of horses.
And he gives back the answer:
    ‘Babylon(E) has fallen,(F) has fallen!
All the images of its gods(G)
    lie shattered(H) on the ground!’”
