Isaiah 22:4-7

Living Bible

⁴ Leave me alone to weep. Don’t try to comfort me—let me cry for my people as I watch them being destroyed. ⁵ Oh, what a day of crushing trouble! What a day of confusion and terror from the Lord God of heaven’s armies! The walls of Jerusalem are breached, and the cry of death echoes from the mountainsides. ^6-7 Elamites are the archers; Syrians drive the chariots; the men of Kir hold up the shields. They fill your choicest valleys and crowd against your gates.
