Isaiah 22:1-7
An Oracle Concerning Jerusalem
1The aoracle concerning bthe valley of vision.What do you mean that you have gone up,
all of you, to the housetops,
2you 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.
4Therefore 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.”
5 gFor the Lord God of hosts has ha day
of tumult and itrampling and jconfusion
in kthe valley of vision,
a battering down of walls
and a shouting to the mountains.
6And lElam bore the quiver
with chariots and horsemen,
and mKir uncovered the shield.
7Your choicest valleys were full of chariots,
and the horsemen took their stand at the gates.
