Isaiah 21:6-8
New International Version
6 This is what the Lord says to me:
“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.”
8 And the lookout[a](D) shouted,
“Day after day, my lord, I stand on the watchtower;
every night I stay at my post.
