The verse 5 is found in chapter 21 of Isaiah. The oracle concerning the wilderness of the sea communicates Babylon’s fall through a scene of watchfulness and alarm. The watchman hears and announces the disappearance of the imperial city. The language of an interrupted banquet transforms a celebration of security into a sign of sudden defeat.

Ja, richte einen Tisch zu, laß wachen auf der Warte, esset, trinket. "Macht euch auf, ihr Fürsten, schmiert den Schild!"
Pon la mesa, mira del atalaya, come, bebe: levantaos, príncipes, ungid el escudo.
On dresse la table, la garde veille, on mange, on boit... Debout, princes! oignez le bouclier!
Mentre la tavola sarà apparecchiata, e le guardie staranno alla veletta, e si mangerà, e si berrà; levatevi, capitani, ungete lo scudo.
Põem-se a mesa, estão de atalaia, comem, bebem; levantai-vos, príncipes, e untai o escudo.
有人擺設筵席, 鋪上地毯,又吃又喝。 「官長啊,起來, 抹亮盾牌。」
