ગુજરાતીયશાયા ૨૧:૫
તેઓ મેજ તૈયાર કરે છે, જાજમ પાથરે છે અને ખાય છે પીએ છે; ઊઠો, સરદારો, ઢાલોને તેલ ચોપડો.
हिन्दीयशायाह २१:५
भोजन की तैयारी हो रही है, पहरुए बैठाए जा रहे हैं, खाना-पीना हो रहा है। हे हाकिमों, उठो, ढाल में तेल मलो !

In context

3Therefore my thighs are filled with anguish. Pains have seized me, like the pains of a woman in labor. I am in so much pain that I can’t hear. I am so dismayed that I can’t see.

4My heart flutters. Horror has frightened me. The twilight that I desired has been turned into trembling for me.

5They prepare the table. They set the watch. They eat. They drink. Rise up, you princes, oil the shield!

6For the Lord said to me, “Go, set a watchman. Let him declare what he sees.

7When he sees a troop, horsemen in pairs, a troop of donkeys, a troop of camels, he shall listen diligently with great attentiveness.”
