Isaiah 21:8-10

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁸ Then the watcher^[a] called out:
“Upon a watchtower 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.”
¹⁰ O my threshed and winnowed one,
    what I have heard from the Lord of hosts,
    the God of Israel, I announce to you.
