Isaiah22:11
Ver. 11. Ye made a ditch alſo] A new ditch (leſt the old one ſhould not ſuffice) to hold water for the beſieged. All this was well and wiſely done: had not the main matter been left undone. See 2 Chron. 32.3, 5. with 2 King. 18.14, 16. The community of the Jews were carnal, and truſted in the arm of fleſh. Hezekiah alſo himſelf faltred, &c.
But ye have not looked unto the maker thereof] i. e. To the Author of that trouble, Oecolamp. treading down and perplexity, ver. 5. Or, to the Founder of Jeruſalem, which, ſay the Rabbins, was one of thoſe ſeven things which God had in his thoughts before he made the world.
