Isaiah 21:7-9

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

⁷ When he sees riders, horsemen in pairs,
    riders on donkeys, riders on camels,
let him listen diligently,
    very diligently.’
⁸ Then the watcher^[a] called out:
‘Upon a watch-tower I stand, O Lord,
    continually by day,
and at my post I am stationed
    throughout the night.
⁹ Look, there they come, riders,
    horsemen in pairs!’
Then he responded,
    ‘Fallen, fallen is Babylon;
and all the images of her gods
    lie shattered on the ground.’
