What does Isaias Chapter 22 say, and which statements belong to its speaker?

Isaias 22 questions the city on its housetops. The edition identifies the valley of vision with Jerusalem, giving alternative explanations of the name. Its slain did not die by sword or battle; fleeing princes and those found are bound. The speaker rejects comfort and weeps. Slaughter, treading and weeping accompany Elam's quiver, chariots and shields, valleys filled with chariots and horsemen at the gate.

Juda's covering is discovered, the forest-house armoury seen, David's city breaches observed and lower-pool waters gathered. Houses are numbered and demolished to strengthen walls; a ditch between walls collects old-pool water. The people do not regard its maker. The Lord calls for mourning, baldness and sackcloth, but meat, wine and the eat-and-drink-before-death saying answer. A verdict declares this iniquity unforgiven till death, without creating a general doctrine that any feasting permanently bars pardon.

Sobna, over the temple, is reproached for a carefully hewn high-place rock tomb. Carrying like a cock, lifting like a garment, a crown of tribulation and tossing like a ball accompany removal to a spacious country, death and the chariot of glory's shame. His station and ministry are taken. Eliacim son of Helcias receives robe, girdle and power, serving as a father to Jerusalem and Juda. David's house key enables opening and shutting without interference. He is fastened as a peg and throne of glory for his father's house, bearing its vessels and instruments. The last verse announces removal, breaking and fall of the peg and loss of what hangs on it; it is preserved without resolving the referent into a general inevitable law of tenure. The edition heading's figure-of-Christ interpretation remains separate.
