Charles Ellicott Commentary Isaiah 22:4

"Therefore said I, Look away from me, I will weep bitterly; labor not to comfort me for the destruction of the daughter of my people." — Isaiah 22:4 (ASV)

Therefore said I, Look away from me. —The tone is that of one who wishes to be alone in his sorrow. It is too deep for visits of consolation. He “refuses to be comforted.” Isaiah bewails the destruction of “the daughter of his people” in much the same manner as Jeremiah over a later catastrophe (Lamentations 3:48).
