Isaias 22:6-14 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

6. And Elam took the quiver, the chariot of the horseman, and the shield was taken down from the wall.

7. And thy choice valleys shall be full of chariots, and the horseman shall place themselves in the gate.

8. And the covering of Juda shall be discovered, and thou shalt see in that day the armoury of the house of the forest.

9. And you shall see the breaches of the city of David, that they are many: and you have gathered together the waters of the lower pool,

10. And have numbered the houses of Jerusalem, and broken down houses to fortify the wall.

11. And you made a ditch between the two walls for the water of the old pool: and you have not looked up to the maker thereof, nor regarded him even at a distance, that wrought it long ago.

12. And the Lord, the God of hosts, in that day shall call to weeping, and to mourning, to baldness, and to girding with sackcloth:

13. And behold joy and gladness, killing calves, and slaying rams, eating flesh, and drinking wine: Let us eat and drink; for to morrow we shall die.

14. And the voice of the Lord of hosts was revealed in my ears: Surely this iniquity shall not be forgiven you till you die, saith the Lord God of hosts.
