Isaiah 22:11
Douay-Rheims
And you made a ditch between the two walls for the water of the old pool: and you have not looked up to the maker thereof, nor regarded him even at a distance, that wrought it long ago.
Ibn Ezra
ומקוה And a ditch. מקוה מים = מקוה A gathering of water (Lev. 2:36). Unto the maker thereof. Unto God, who has decreed to bring Nebuchadnezzar against Jerusalem. Unto him that fashioned it. That fashioned the decree. מרחוק Long ago. Join מרחוק either with ויוצרה, he that fashioned it long ago, or with לא ראיתם, you have not seen for a long time.
Hebrew and Aramaic words are the commentator’s citations of the sacred text; the English translation that follows each is the translator’s.
