Song of Solomon 5:7
New American Standard Bible 1995
7 “The (A)watchmen who make the rounds in the city found me,
They struck me and wounded me;
The guardsmen of the walls took away my shawl from me.
Isaiah 21:6-8
New American Standard Bible 1995
6 For thus the Lord says to me,
“Go, station the lookout, let him (A)report what he sees.
7 “When he sees (B)riders, horsemen in pairs,
A train of donkeys, a train of camels,
Let him pay close attention, very close attention.”
8 Then [a]the lookout called,
“(C)O Lord, I stand continually by day on the watchtower,
And I am stationed every night at my guard post.
