New Testament

Isaiah 22:8-11 The Message (MSG)

You assessed your defenses that Day, inspected your arsenal of weapons in the Forest Armory. You found the weak places in the city walls that needed repair. You secured the water supply at the Lower Pool. You took an inventory of the houses in Jerusalem and tore down some to get bricks to fortify the city wall. You built a large cistern to ensure plenty of water.You looked and looked and looked, but you never looked to him who gave you this city, never once consulted the One who has long had plans for this city.
