One post shall run to meet another, and one messenger to meet another, to show the king of Babylon that his city is taken on every quarter:

One man, running, will give word to another, and one who goes with news will be handing it on to another, to give word to the king of Babylon that his town has been taken from every quarter:

Ταχυδρομος θελει δραμει εις απαντησιν ταχυδρομου και μηνυτης εις απαντησιν μηνυτου, δια να αναγγειλωσι προς τον βασιλεα της Βαβυλωνος οτι η πολις αυτου ηλωθη απο των ακρων αυτης,

One post shall run to meet another, and one messenger to meet another, to shew the king of Babylon that his city is taken at one end,
