Isaiah 22:9 Context
7And it shall come to passe that thy choicest valleys shall be full of charets, and the horsemen shall set themselues in aray at the gate. 8¶ And he discouered the couering of Iudah, and thou diddest looke in that day to the armour of the house of the forrest. 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.
