Isaiah 22:8-11
New Living Translation
8 Judah’s defenses have been stripped away.
You run to the armory[a] for your weapons.
9 You inspect the breaks in the walls of Jerusalem.[b]
You store up water in the lower pool.
10 You survey the houses and tear some down
for stone to strengthen the walls.
11 Between the city walls, you build a reservoir
for water from the old pool.
But you never ask for help from the One who did all this.
You never considered the One who planned this long ago.
