Isaiah 22:1-4

An Oracle Concerning Jerusalem

1 The ^aoracle concerning ^bthe valley of vision.

What do you mean that you have gone up,
all of you, to the housetops,
2 you who are full of shoutings,
tumultuous city, ^cexultant town?
Your slain are ^dnot slain with the sword
or dead in battle.
3 ^eAll your leaders have fled together;
without the bow they were captured.
All of you who were found were captured,
though they had fled far away.
4 Therefore I said:
“Look away from me;
^flet me weep bitter tears;
do not labor to comfort me
concerning the destruction of the daughter of my people.”

Zephaniah 1:10-11

10 “On that day,” declares the Lord,
“a cry will be heard from ^gthe Fish Gate,
^ha wail from ⁱthe Second Quarter,
a loud crash from the hills.
11 ^jWail, O inhabitants of the Mortar!
For all the traders ^{▼▼Or all the people of Canaan} are no more;
all who weigh out silver are cut off.

Zephaniah 1:16

16 ^la day of trumpet blast and battle cry
^magainst the fortified cities
and against the lofty battlements.
