Isaiah 22 General Notes
Structure and formatting
Some translations set each line of poetry farther to the right than the rest of the text to make it easier to read. The ULB does this with the poetry in this chapter.
Special concepts in this chapter
Repentance
On this day of judgment, Judah should be repenting of their sin. Instead, they are celebrating it. Although Judah avoids Yahweh's punishment through the Assyrians, their punishment will still come. (See: rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/judge, rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/repent and rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/sin)
