It is a chariot that two horses are pulling!’ The rider reports, ‘An enemy has completely destroyed Babylon! All the idols of its people's gods lie in pieces on the ground!’

New International Version
8 And the lookout[a](A) shouted,
“Day after day, my lord, I stand on the watchtower;
every night I stay at my post.
9 Look, here comes a man in a chariot(B)
with a team of horses.
And he gives back the answer:
‘Babylon(C) has fallen,(D) has fallen!
All the images of its gods(E)
lie shattered(F) on the ground!’”
10 My people who are crushed on the threshing floor,(G)
I tell you what I have heard
from the Lord Almighty,
from the God of Israel.
