Isaiah 22:1Easy To Read VersionThe sad message about the Valley of Vision: {\cf2\super [213]} See the chapter |
‘The houses in Jerusalem will become as “dirty” as this place, Topheth. The kings’ palaces {\cf2\super [161]} will be ruined like this place, Topheth. Why? Because the people worshiped false gods on the roofs of those houses. {\cf2\super [162]} They worshiped the stars and burned sacrifices to honor them. They gave drink offerings to false gods.’”
The Babylonian army is already attacking the city of Jerusalem. They will soon enter the city and start a fire. They will burn this city down. There are houses in this city where the people of Jerusalem made me angry by offering sacrifices to the false god Baal {\cf2\super [270]} on the housetops. And the people poured out drink offerings to other idol gods. The Babylonian army will burn down those houses.
That is why it is like night for you.\par That is why you don’t have visions. {\cf2\super [38]} \par You can’t see what will happen\par in the future,\par so it is like darkness to you.\par The sun has gone down on the prophets.\par They can’t see what will happen\par in the future,\par so it is like darkness to them.\par
