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.
