4. Therefore said I, Look away from me; I will weep bitterly, labour not to comfort me, because of the spoiling of the daughter of my people. 5. For [it is] a day of trouble, and of treading down, and of perplexity by the Lord GOD of hosts in the valley of vision, breaking down the walls, and of crying to the mountains. 6. And Elam bare the quiver with chariots of men [and] horsemen, and Kir uncovered the shield. 7. And it shall come to pass, [that] thy choicest valleys shall be full of chariots, and the horsemen shall set themselves in array at the gate. 8. And he discovered the covering of Judah, and thou didst look in that day to the armour of the house of the forest. 9. Ye have seen also the breaches of the city of David, that they are many: and ye gathered together the waters of the lower pool. 10. And ye have numbered the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses have ye broken down to fortify the wall. 11. Ye made also a ditch between the two walls for the water of the old pool: but ye have not looked unto the maker thereof, neither had respect unto him that fashioned it long ago.

Commentary

Commentary on Isaiah 22:4

Theological / Devotional

Look away from me. Isaiah is deeply affected over the plight of Jerusalem, and requests to be left alone in his grief. Later, Jeremiah also wailed bitterly over the fate of the city, which he likewise termed “the daughter of my people” (Lam. 3:48; cf. Jer. 8:19).
