Isaiah 22:10

The Valley of Vision

9You saw that there were many breaches in the walls of the City of David. You collected water from the lower pool.10You counted the houses of Jerusalem and tore them down to strengthen the wall.11You built a reservoir between the walls for the waters of the ancient pool, but you did not look to the One who made it, or consider Him who planned it long ago.
