Isaiah 22:1-5

American Standard Version

22 The ^[a]burden of the valley of vision.

What aileth thee now, that thou art wholly gone up to the housetops? ² O thou that art full of shoutings, a tumultuous city, a joyous town; thy slain are not slain with the sword, neither are they dead in battle. ³ All thy rulers fled away together, they were bound ^[b]by the archers; all that were found of thee were bound together; ^[c]they fled afar off. ⁴ Therefore said I, Look away from me, I will weep bitterly; ^[d]labor not to comfort me for the destruction of the daughter of my people.

⁵ For it is a day of discomfiture, and of treading down, and of perplexity, from the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, in the valley of vision; a breaking down of the walls, and a crying to the ^[e]mountains.
