3. Therefore filled have been my loins [with] great pain, Pangs have seized me as pangs of a travailing woman, I have been bent down by hearing, I have been troubled by seeing.
4. Wandered hath my heart, trembling hath terrified me, The twilight of my desire He hath made a fear to me,
5. Arrange the table, watch in the watch-tower, Eat, drink, rise, ye heads, anoint the shield,
6. For thus said the Lord unto me: `Go, station the watchman, That which he seeth let him declare.'
7. And he hath seen a chariot--a couple of horsemen, The rider of an ass, the rider of a camel, And he hath given attention--He hath increased attention!
8. And he crieth--a lion, `On a watch-tower my lord, I am standing continually by day, And on my ward I am stationed whole nights.
9. And lo, this, the chariot of a man is coming, A couple of horsemen.' And he answereth and saith: `Fallen, fallen hath Babylon, And all the graven images of her gods He hath broken to the earth.
10. O my threshing, and the son of my floor, That which I heard from Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, I have declared to you!'
