Isaiah 22:4 in Context — Isaiah 22

2 Tú, llena de alborotos, ciudad turbulenta, ciudad alegre; tus muertos no son muertos á cuchillo, ni muertos en guerra.

3 Todos tus príncipes juntos huyeron del arco, fueron atados: todos los que en ti se hallaron, fueron atados juntamente, [aunque] lejos se habían huído.

4 Por esto dije: Dejadme, lloraré amargamente; no os afanéis por consolarme de la destrucción de la hija de mi pueblo.

5 Porque día es de alboroto, y de huella, y de fatiga por el Señor Jehová de los ejércitos en el valle de la visión, para derribar el muro, y [dar] grita al monte.

6 Y Elam tomó aljaba en carro de hombres y de caballeros; y Chîr descubrió escudo.
