Isaiah 22:5

Isaiah 22:5

3 All your rulers have fled together;
They are captured by the archers.
All who are found in you are bound together;
They have fled from afar.

4 Therefore I said, “Look away from me,
^aI will weep bitterly;
Do not labor to comfort me
Because of the plundering of the daughter of my people.”

5 ^aFor it is a day of trouble and treading down and perplexity
^bBy the Lord God of hosts
In the Valley of Vision—
Breaking down the walls
And of crying to the mountain.

6 ^aElam bore the quiver
With chariots of men and horsemen,
And ^bKir uncovered the shield.

7 It shall come to pass that your choicest valleys
Shall be full of chariots,
And the horsemen shall set themselves in array at the gate.

John Wesley's Notes

<< Isaiah 22:4

Isaiah 22:6 >>

Treading down - In which my people are trodden under foot by their enemies. By the Lord - Not only men, but God himself fought against them. Walls - Of the strong cities of Judah. Mountains - With such loud and dismal outcries as should reach to the neighbouring mountains.

<< Isaiah 22:4

Isaiah 22:6 >>
