Isaiah 21:12

The watchman said, The morning cometh, and also the night: if ye will enquire, enquire ye: return, come.

The watchman {H8104} said {H559}, The morning {H1242} cometh {H857}, and also the night {H3915}: if ye will enquire {H1158}, enquire {H1158} ye: return {H7725}, come {H857}.

The watchman answers: "Morning is coming, but also the night. If you want to ask, ask! Come back again!"

The watchman replies, “Morning has come, but also the night. If you would inquire, then inquire. Come back yet again.”

The watchman said, The morning cometh, and also the night: if ye will inquire, inquire ye: turn ye, come.
