And ye have numbered the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses have ye broken down to fortify the wall.
Isaiah 22:10 stands in the first part of Isaiah, chapters 1-39, which gathers prophecies and historical accounts from the period of Isaiah's active work among the rulers and people. The messages in that part were given on different occasions and were afterward collected together. Within that collection the verse falls in the group of prophecies in Isaiah 20-22 concerning Assyria, the wilderness of the South, Idumea, and Israel. It belongs there to the prophecy concerning Israel. The chapter containing it is directed against Jerusalem, rather than belonging to the surrounding prophecies against foreign nations.
