Isaiah 22:1-6

Revised Standard Version RSV

1 The oracle concerning the valley of vision. What do you mean that you have gone up, all of you, to the housetops,

2 you who are full of shoutings, tumultuous city, exultant town? Your slain are not slain with the sword or dead in battle.

3 All your rulers have fled together, without the bow they were captured. All of you who were found were captured, though they had fled far away.

4 Therefore I said: "Look away from me, let me weep bitter tears; do not labor to comfort me for the destruction of the daughter of my people."

5 For the Lord GOD of hosts has a day of tumult and trampling and confusion in the valley of vision, a battering down of walls and a shouting to the mountains.

6 And Elam bore the quiver with chariots and horsemen, and Kir uncovered the shield.

New International Version NIV

1 A prophecy against the Valley of Vision: What troubles you now, that you have all gone up on the roofs,

2 you town so full of commotion, you city of tumult and revelry? Your slain were not killed by the sword, nor did they die in battle.

3 All your leaders have fled together; they have been captured without using the bow. All you who were caught were taken prisoner together, having fled while the enemy was still far away.

4 Therefore I said, “Turn away from me; let me weep bitterly. Do not try to console me over the destruction of my people.”

5 The Lord, the LORD Almighty, has a day of tumult and trampling and terror in the Valley of Vision, a day of battering down walls and of crying out to the mountains.

6 Elam takes up the quiver, with her charioteers and horses; Kir uncovers the shield.
