Yesaya 22:11
Konteks22:11 You made a reservoir between the two walls
for the water of the old pool –
but you did not trust in 1 the one who made it; 2
you did not depend on 3 the one who formed it long ago!
Yesaya 26:1
Konteks26:1 At that time 4 this song will be sung in the land of Judah:
“We have a strong city!
The Lord’s 5 deliverance, like walls and a rampart, makes it secure. 6
Yesaya 30:13
Konteks30:13 So this sin will become your downfall.
You will be like a high wall
that bulges and cracks and is ready to collapse;
it crumbles suddenly, in a flash. 7
Yesaya 56:5
Konteks56:5 I will set up within my temple and my walls a monument 8
that will be better than sons and daughters.
I will set up a permanent monument 9 for them that will remain.
Yesaya 60:18
Konteks60:18 Sounds of violence 10 will no longer be heard in your land,
or the sounds of 11 destruction and devastation within your borders.
You will name your walls, ‘Deliverance,’
and your gates, ‘Praise.’
Yesaya 62:6
Konteks62:6 I 12 post watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem;
they should keep praying all day and all night. 13
You who pray to 14 the Lord, don’t be silent!
