Exegesis

The Hebrew clause begins with ki {כִּי | kî} ‘for’, a conjunction marking causal explanation leading into a sequence of coordinated nouns: yom {יוֹם | yôm} ‘day’, məhûmāh {מְהוּמָה | məhûmāh} ‘tumult’, ū-məvusâh {וּמְבוּסָה | ū-məvusâh} ‘trampling’, and ū-məvûḵāh {וּמְבוּכָה | ū-məvûḵāh} ‘perplexity’. This accumulation intensifies the sense of calamity.

In contextIsaiah 22:5

For it is a day of tumult and trampling and perplexity to the Lord GOD of hosts , in the valley of vision ; breaking down the wall and crying out to the mountain.
