6 Porque el Señor me dijo así: Ve, pon centinela que haga saber lo que viere.

7 Y vió un carro de un par de caballeros, un carro de asno, y un carro de camello. Luego miró muy más atentamente.

8 Y gritó como un león: Señor, sobre la atalaya estoy yo continuamente de día, y las noches enteras sobre mi guarda:

9 Y he aquí este carro de hombres viene, un par de caballeros. Después habló, y dijo: Cayó, cayó Babilonia; y todos los ídolos de sus dioses quebrantó en tierra.
