Jesaja 22:4

Listen to Jesaja 22:4
4 Darum sage ich: Schauet von mir weg, daß ich bitterlich weine; dringet nicht in mich, um mich zu trösten über die Zerstörung der Tochter meines Volkes!

Jesaja 22:4 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 22:4

Therefore said I
Not God to the ministering angels, as Jarchi; but the prophet to those that were about him, his relations, friends, and acquaintance: look away from me;
turn away from me, look another way; cease from me, let me alone; leave me to myself, that I may weep in secret, take my fill of sorrow, and give full vent to it: I will weep bitterly;
or, "I will be bitter", or, "bitter myself in weeping" F14; it denotes the vehemence of his grief, the greatness of his sorrow, and the strength of his passion: labour not to comfort me;
make use of no arguments to persuade me to lay aside my mourning; do not be urgent and importunate with me to receive consolation, for my soul refuses to be comforted: because of the spoiling of the daughter of my people;
his countrymen, which were as dear to him as a daughter to a tender parent, now spoiled, plundered, and made desolate by the ravages of the enemy, in many cities of Judea.

Jesaja 22:4 In-Context

2 O getümmelvolle, lärmende Stadt, du frohlockende Stadt, deine Erschlagenen sind nicht vom Schwert Erschlagene und nicht in der Schlacht Getötete!
3 Alle deine Oberen, flüchtend allzumal, wurden ohne Bogen gefesselt; alle in dir Gefundenen wurden miteinander gefesselt, fernhin wollten sie fliehen.
4 Darum sage ich: Schauet von mir weg, daß ich bitterlich weine; dringet nicht in mich, um mich zu trösten über die Zerstörung der Tochter meines Volkes!
5 Denn es ist ein Tag der Bestürzung und der Zertretung und der Verwirrung vom Herrn, Jehova der Heerscharen, im Tal der Gesichte, ein Tag, der Mauern zertrümmert; und Wehgeschrei hallt nach dem Gebirge hin.
6 Und Elam trägt den Köcher, mit bemannten Wagen und mit Reitern; und Kir entblößt den Schild.
