NASB
"They set the table, they spread out the cloth, they eat, they drink; "Rise up, captains, oil the shields,""
— Isaiah 21:5, NASB
“Prepare the table, watch in the watchtower, eat, drink: arise, ye princes, and anoint the shield.”
“They prepare the table, they set the watch, they eat, they drink: rise up, ye princes, anoint the shield. ”
“They prepare the table. They set the watch. They eat. They drink. Rise up, you princes, oil the shield!”
“Arrange the table, lay out the carpet, eat and drink! Get up, you officers, smear oil on the shields!”
“Prepare the table, behold in the watchtower them that eat and drink: arise, ye princes, take up the shield.”
“They make ready the table, they put down the covers, they take food and drink. Up! you captains; put oil on your breastplates.”
“Prepare the table, watch in the watchtower, eat, drink: arise, ye princes, and anoint the shield.”
A harsh vision has been shown to me; The treacherous one still deals treacherously, and the destroyer still destroys. Go up, Elam, lay siege, Media; I have made an end of all the groaning she has caused.
For this reason my loins are full of anguish; Pains have seized me like the pains of a woman in labor. I am so bewildered I cannot hear, so terrified I cannot see.
My mind reels, horror overwhelms me; The twilight I longed for has been turned for me into trembling.
They set the table, they spread out the cloth, they eat, they drink; "Rise up, captains, oil the shields,"
For thus the Lord says to me, "Go, station the lookout, let him report what he sees.
"When he sees riders, horsemen in pairs, A train of donkeys, a train of camels, Let him pay close attention, very close attention."
Then the lookout called, "O Lord, I stand continually by day on the watchtower, And I am stationed every night at my guard post.
