21:5 Arrange the table,
lay out 1 the carpet,
eat and drink! 2
Get up, you officers,
smear oil on the shields! 3
21:6 For this is what the sovereign master 4 has told me:
“Go, post a guard!
He must report what he sees.
21:7 When he sees chariots,
teams of horses, 5
riders on donkeys,
riders on camels,
he must be alert,
very alert.”
21:8 Then the guard 6 cries out:
“On the watchtower, O sovereign master, 7
I stand all day long;
at my post
I am stationed every night.
