Isaiah 22:11 Context
9Ye haue seene also the breaches of the citie of Dauid, that they are many: and ye gathered together the waters of the lower poole. 10And ye haue numbred the houses of Ierusalem, and the houses haue yee broken downe to fortifie the wall. 11Ye made also a ditch betweene the two walles, for the water of the olde poole: but ye haue not looked vnto the maker thereof, neither had respect vnto him that fashioned it long agoe. 12And in that day did the Lord God of hostes call to weeping and to mourning, and to baldnesse, and to girding with sackecloth. 13And behold ioy and gladnesse, slaying oxen and killing sheep, eating flesh, and drinking wine; let vs eate and drinke, for to morrow we shall die.

22:11 Thereof - Of Jerusalem, expressed in the foregoing verse. Him - God, who made it a city, and the place of his special presence and worship. Long ago - Which may be added to aggravate their sin, in distrusting that God, who had now for a long time given proof of his care and kindness in defending this city.
