Isaiah 22:4-6

New Catholic Bible

⁴ That is the reason why I said:
    Turn your eyes away from me;
    let me weep bitterly.
Do not try to console me
    about the destruction of my people.
⁵ For this is a day ordained by the Lord of hosts,
a day of rout, tumult, and confusion
    in the Valley of Vision,
a day on which walls will be battered down
    and cries for help echo through the mountains.
⁶ Elam has taken up his quiver,
    the chariots of Aram have their horses prepared,
    and Kir has bared his shield.
