Isaiah 22:5 in context

The verses around it, from Isaiah 22.

1 This is the burden against the Valley of Vision: What ails you now, that you have all gone up to the rooftops,

2 O city of commotion, O town of revelry? Your slain did not die by the sword, nor were they killed in battle.

3 All your rulers have fled together, captured without a bow. All your fugitives were captured together, having fled to a distant place.

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

5 For the Lord GOD of Hosts has set a day of tumult and trampling and confusion in the Valley of Vision—of breaking down the walls and crying to the mountains.

6 Elam takes up a quiver, with chariots and horsemen, and Kir uncovers the shield.

7 Your choicest valleys are full of chariots, and horsemen are posted at the gates.

8 He has uncovered the defenses of Judah. On that day you looked to the weapons in the House of the Forest.

9 You saw that there were many breaches in the walls of the City of David. You collected water from the lower pool.
