In context

3Therefore my body is filled with anguish. Pain grips me, like the pains of a woman in labor. I am bewildered to hear, I am dismayed to see.

4My heart falters; fear makes me tremble. The twilight I desired has turned to horror.

5They prepare a table, they lay out a carpet, they eat, they drink! Rise up, O princes, oil the shields!

6For this is what the Lord says to me: “Go, post a lookout and have him report what he sees.

7When he sees chariots with teams of horsemen, riders on donkeys, riders on camels, he must be alert, fully alert.”
