Isaiah 22:1-5

1This is the divine revelation about the valley of Vision. What’s the matter with you? Why do all of you go up on the roofs?

2You are a city filled with shouting, a town filled with noise and excitement. Your people weren’t killed with swords. Your dead didn’t die in battle.

3All your leaders fled together and were captured without their bows and arrows. All those who were found were taken prisoner before any of them could get far away.

4That is why I say, “Turn away from me so that I can cry bitterly. Don’t try to comfort me because of the destruction brought on my people.”

5The Almighty Lord of Armies has chosen a special day. It will be a day of confusion and trampling in the valley of Vision, ⌞a day of⌟ tearing down walls and crying for help in the mountains.
