Waiters and prophets carry bible (7)
I believe the answer is:
servers
'waiters' is the definition.
(I know this)
'prophets carry bible' is the wordplay.
'prophets' becomes 'seers' (both can mean people who see the future).
'carry' is an insertion indicator.
'bible' becomes 'rv' (Revised Version, revision of King James Bible).
'seers' enclosing 'rv' is 'SERVERS'.
'and' is the link.
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
