nkjv Isaiah:22:1-9
nkjv@Isaiah:22:1 @ The burden against the Valley of Vision. What ails you now, that you have all gone up to the housetops,
nkjv@Isaiah:22:2 @ You who are full of noise, A tumultuous city, a joyous city? Your slain men are not slain with the sword, Nor dead in battle.
nkjv@Isaiah:22:3 @ 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.
nkjv@Isaiah:22:4 @ Therefore I said, "Look away from me, I will weep bitterly; Do not labor to comfort me Because of the plundering of the daughter of my people."
nkjv@Isaiah:22:5 @ For it is a day of trouble and treading down and perplexity By the Lord GOD of hosts In the Valley of Vision-- Breaking down the walls And of crying to the mountain.
nkjv@Isaiah:22:6 @ Elam bore the quiver With chariots of men and horsemen, And Kir uncovered the shield.
nkjv@Isaiah:22:7 @ 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.
nkjv@Isaiah:22:8 @ He removed the protection of Judah. You looked in that day to the armor of the House of the Forest;
nkjv@Isaiah:22:9 @ You also saw the damage to the city of David, That it was great; And you gathered together the waters of the lower pool.
