Isaiah 22:1 The burden of the valley of vision. What ails you now, that you are wholly gone up to the housetops?… In these words we can hear the old man addressing his fickle child, whose changefulness by this time. he knew so well. We see him standing at his door watching this ghastly holiday. "What are you rejoicing at in such an hour as this, when you have not even the bravery of your soldiers to celebrate, when you are without that pride which has brought songs from the lips of a defeated people as they learned that their sons had fallen with their faces to the foe, and has made even the wounds of the dead borne through the gate lips of triumph, calling to festival?"
