  2. 4My heart fluttereth, horror hath affrighted me; the twilight that I desired hath been turned into trembling unto me.

  4. 6For thus hath the Lord said unto me, Go, set a watchman; let him declare what he seeth:
  5. 7and when he seeth a troop, horsemen in pairs, a troop of asses, a troop of camels, he shall hearken diligently with much heed.
