Isaiah 22:1-9

JuliaSmith(i) 1 The burden of the valley of vision. What to thee now, that thou wentest up all of thee, to the roofs? 2 The city put in commotion was filled with noise, the exulting city: thy wounded not wounded of the sword, and not the dead of war. 3 All thy chiefs fled together, they were bound of the bow: all they finding thee were bound together; they fled from from far off. 4 For this I said, Look ye away from me; I will be bitter in my weeping, ye shall not hasten to comfort me upon the desolation of the daughter of my people. 5 For a day of consternation, and of treading down, and perplexity by the Lord Jehovah of armies of the valley of vision, of undermining the wall, and of a cry for help to the mountains. 6 And Elam lifted up the quiver with the chariot of men, horsemen; and Kir made naked the shield. 7 And it shall be the chosen of thy valleys was filled with chariots, and the horsemen placed a seat at the gate. 8 And he will uncover the covering of Judah, and thou wilt look in that day to the weapons of the house of the forest 9 The clefts of the city of David ye saw, that they were many: and ye shall gather the water of the lowest pool.
