Isaia 22:4

Listen to Isaia 22:4
4 Perciò dico: "Stornate da me lo sguardo, io vo’ piangere amaramente; non insistete nel volermi consolare del disastro della figliuola del mio popolo!"

Isaia 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.

Isaia 22:4 In-Context

2 o città piena di clamori, città di tumulti, città piena di gaiezza? I tuoi uccisi non sono uccisi di spada né morti in battaglia.
3 Tutti i tuoi capi fuggono assieme, son fatti prigionieri senza che l’arco sia stato tirato; tutti quelli de’ tuoi che sono trovati son fatti prigionieri, benché fuggiti lontano.
4 Perciò dico: "Stornate da me lo sguardo, io vo’ piangere amaramente; non insistete nel volermi consolare del disastro della figliuola del mio popolo!"
5 Poiché è un giorno di tumulto, di calpestamento, di perplessità, il giorno del Signore, dell’Eterno degli eserciti, nella Valle delle Visioni. Si abbatton le mura, il grido d’angoscia giunge fino ai monti.
6 Elam porta il turcasso con delle truppe sui carri, e dei cavalieri; Kir snuda lo scudo.
