TSK · Isaiah 22:2

Is this really your boisterous city whose origins are in the distant past, and whose feet led her to a distant land to reside?

So this is what the LORD says about the king of Assyria:‘He will not enter this city, nor will he shoot an arrow here. He will not attack it with his shielded warriors, nor will he build siege works against it.

If I go out into the countryside, I see those who have been killed in battle. If I go into the city, I see those who are sick because of starvation. For both prophet and priest– they go peddling in the land but they are not humbled.’”

By the ninth day of the fourth month the famine in the city was so severe the residents had no food.

ט(Tet) Those who died by the sword are better off than those who die of hunger, those who waste away, struck down from lack of food.

You refuse to believe a day of disaster will come, but you establish a reign of violence.
