“Go, post a lookout^(A)
    and have him report what he sees.
⁷ When he sees chariots^(B)
    with teams of horses,
riders on donkeys
    or riders on camels,^(C)
let him be alert,
    fully alert.”

“Day after day, my lord, I stand on the watchtower;
    every night I stay at my post.

Someone calls to me from Seir,^(B)
    “Watchman, what is left of the night?
    Watchman, what is left of the night?”

¹² The watchman replies,
    “Morning is coming, but also the night.
If you would ask, then ask;
    and come back yet again.”
