Context
The Lord Will Judge Jerusalem
22:1 Here is a message about the Valley of Vision : What is the reason that all of you go up to the rooftops ?
22:2 The noisy city is full of raucous sounds ; the town is filled with revelry . Your slain were not cut down by the sword ; they did not die in battle .
22:3 All your leaders ran away together – they fled to a distant place; all your refugees were captured together – they were captured without a single arrow being shot.
22:4 So I say : “Don’t look at me! I am weeping bitterly . Don’t try to console me concerning the destruction of my defenseless people .”
22:5 For the sovereign master , the Lord who commands armies , has planned a day of panic , defeat , and confusion . In the Valley of Vision people shout and cry out to the hill .
22:6 The Elamites picked up the quiver , and came with chariots and horsemen ; the men of Kir prepared the shield .
22:7 Your very best valleys were full of chariots ; horsemen confidently took their positions at the gate .
22:8 They removed the defenses of Judah . At that time you looked for the weapons in the House of the Forest .
22:9 You saw the many breaks in the walls of the city of David ; you stored up water in the lower pool .
22:10 You counted the houses in Jerusalem , and demolished houses so you could have material to reinforce the wall .
22:11 You made a reservoir between the two walls for the water of the old pool – but you did not trust in the one who made it; you did not depend on the one who formed it long ago !
