Isaiah 21:3-7 Common English Bible (CEB)

3. Therefore, I’m shaken to my core in anguish.Pains have seized me like the pains of a woman in labor.I’m too bent over to hear,too dismayed to see.

4. My heart pounds; convulsions overpower me.He has turned my evening of pleasure into dread—

5. setting the table, spreading the cloth, eating, drinking."Arise, captains!Polish the shields."

6. The Lord said this to me:"Go, post a lookout to report what he sees.

7. When he sees chariots, pairs of horsemen,donkey riders, camel riders,he should listen carefully,carefully, very carefully."
