Isaiah 22:1-13

1The burdenH4853 of the valleyH1516 of visionH2384. What aileth thee nowH645, that thou art wholly gone upH5927 to the housetopsH1406? 2Thou that art fullH4392 of stirsH8663, a tumultuousH1993 cityH5892, a joyousH5947 cityH7151: thy slainH2491 men are not slainH2491 with the swordH2719, nor deadH4191 in battleH4421. 3All thy rulersH7101 are fledH5074 togetherH3162, they are boundH631 by the archersH7198: all that are foundH4672 in thee are boundH631 togetherH3162, which have fledH1272 from farH7350.1 4Therefore saidH559 I, Look awayH8159 from me; I will weepH1065 bitterlyH4843, labourH213 not to comfortH5162 me, because of the spoilingH7701 of the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971.2 5For it is a dayH3117 of troubleH4103, and of treading downH4001, and of perplexityH3998 by the LordH136 YhwhH3069 of ArmiesH6635 in the valleyH1516 of visionH2384, breakingH6979 down the wallsH7023, and of cryingH7771 to the mountainsH2022. 6And ElamH5867 bareH5375 the quiverH827 with chariotsH7393 of menH120 and horsemenH6571, and KirH7024 uncoveredH6168 the shieldH4043.3 7And it shall come to pass, that thy choicestH4005 valleysH6010 shall be fullH4390 of chariotsH7393, and the horsemenH6571 shall setH7896 themselves in arrayH7896 at the gateH8179.45

8And he discoveredH1540 the coveringH4539 of JudahH3063, and thou didst lookH5027 in that dayH3117 to the armourH5402 of the houseH1004 of the forestH3293. 9Ye have seenH7200 also the breachesH1233 of the cityH5892 of DavidH1732, that they are manyH7231: and ye gathered togetherH6908 the watersH4325 of the lowerH8481 poolH1295. 10And ye have numberedH5608 the housesH1004 of JerusalemH3389, and the housesH1004 have ye broken downH5422 to fortifyH1219 the wallH2346. 11Ye madeH6213 also a ditchH4724 between the two wallsH2346 for the waterH4325 of the oldH3465 poolH1295: but ye have not lookedH5027 unto the makerH6213 thereof, neither had respectH7200 unto him that fashionedH3335 it long agoH7350. 12And in that dayH3117 did the LordH136 YhwhH3069 of ArmiesH6635 callH7121 to weepingH1065, and to mourningH4553, and to baldnessH7144, and to girdingH2296 with sackclothH8242: 13And behold joyH8342 and gladnessH8057, slayingH2026 oxenH1241, and killingH7819 sheepH6629, eatingH398 fleshH1320, and drinkingH8354 wineH3196: let us eatH398 and drinkH8354; for to morrowH4279 we shall dieH4191.
