Isaiah 22:10Contemporary English Version (Anglicised) 2012You counted the houses in Jerusalem and tore down some of them, so you could get stones to repair the city wall. See the chapter |
Many of the houses in Jerusalem and some of the buildings at the royal palace have been torn down to be used in repairing the walls to keep out the Babylonian attackers. Now there are empty spaces where the buildings once stood. But I am furious, and these spaces will be filled with the bodies of the people I kill. The people of Jerusalem will cry out to me for help, but they are evil, and I will ignore their prayers.
