Isaiah 21

what I remember:
The Fall of Babylon. They are betrayed and looted. They fall so hard that it brings the narrator great physical pain. A man on the watchtower watches, and a horse and chariot come, the messenger declaring that Babylon has fallen and their gods are crushed and shattered and everywhere. A second prophecy, also about a watchman, but in a different city. This one just says "morning is coming" or something similar. And a third, telling yet another city to prepare for refugees that they will need to feed and give drink too -- because there isn't going to be many survivors from Kedar.

notes: It's interesting, the repeat of the "watchman" figure and idea.
