3. 3 Therefore are my loins filled with pain: pangs have taken hold upon me, as the pangs of a woman that travaileth: I was bowed down at the hearing of it; I was dismayed at the seeing of it.

5. 5 Prepare the table, watch in the watchtower, eat, drink: arise, ye princes, and anoint the shield.

6. 6 For thus hath the LORD said unto me, Go, set a watchman, let him declare what he seeth.

7. 7 And he saw a chariot with a couple of horsemen, a chariot of asses, and a chariot of camels; and he hearkened diligently with much heed:
