Isaiah

Chapter 22

1 THE prophecy concerning the valley of vision. What do you see here, that you are all gone up to the housetops?

2 The city is full of tumult, the mighty city is full of noise; your slain men are not slain with the sword nor dead in battle.

3 All your princes are fled together, they are surrounded by the archers; all that were found in you are bound together; they have fled to far off places.

4 Therefore said I, Leave me alone, I will weep bitterly; trouble not yourself to comfort me, because of the destruction of the daughter of my people.

5 For it is a day of trouble and of treading down and of weeping before the LORD God of hosts in the valley of vision; they have surveyed the walls, and shouted upon the mountains.

6 And Elam bore the quiver with the chariots of men and horsemen, and the shields were seen on the wall.

7 And it shall come to pass that your choicest valleys shall be full of chariots, and the horsemen shall set themselves in array at the gates.

8 And the defenses of Judah shall be laid bare, and you shall see on that day the armour of the house of the forest.

9 You have seen also the breaches of the city of David, that they are many; and you have gathered together the waters of the lower pool.

10 And you have supplied the houses of Jerusalem with water, and you have broken down the houses to fortify the walls.

11 And you made ditches between the two walls for the water of the old pool; but you have not looked to the maker thereof, neither had respect to him who fashioned it long ago.

12 And in that day the LORD God of hosts called to weeping and to mourning and to baldness and to girding with sackcloth;

13 And behold joy and gladness, slaughtering oxen and killing sheep, eating meat and drinking wine; let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we shall die.

14 And it was revealed in my ears by the LORD of hosts, saying, Surely this iniquity shall not be purged from you till you die, says the LORD God of hosts.

15 Thus says the LORD God of hosts: Go, get to this treasurer, even to Shebna, who is over the household, and say to him,

16 What do you here? And what have you here, that you have hewn a tomb for yourself, as he who hews for himself a tomb on high and carves a habitation for himself in a rock?

17 Behold, O man, the LORD will surely cast you away, and will surely forsake you.

18 And he shall afflict you like the affliction of a company of soldiers besieged in a fortress from which there is no escape; there shall you die, and there the chariots of your glory shall be the shame of your master's house.

19 And I will take away your glory, and will cast you down from your position.

20 And it shall come to pass in that day, says the LORD, I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah;

21 And I will clothe him with your robe and will gird him with your girdle, and I will commit your government into his hand; and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to the house of Judah.

22 And I will place upon his shoulder the keys of the house of David; so he shall open and none shall shut, and he shall shut and none shall open.

23 And I will fasten him as a nail in a sure place; and he shall be for a glorious throne to his father's house.

24 And they shall hang upon him all the glory of his father's house, both the honorable men and the glorious men, and all small vessels, from instruments of music to the harp.

25 In that day, says the LORD of hosts, shall the nail that is fastened in a sure place be removed and be overthrown and fall; and the burden that was upon it shall be destroyed; for the LORD has spoken it.

Chapter 22

1 The burden4853 of the valley1516 of vision.2384 What4100 aileth thee now,645 that3588 thou art wholly3605 gone up5927 to the housetops?1406

2 Thou that art full4392 of stirs,8663 a tumultuous1993 city,5892 a joyous5947 city:7151 thy slain2491 men are not3808 slain2491 with the sword,2719 nor3808 dead4191 in battle.4421

3 All3605 thy rulers7101 are fled5074 together,3162 they are bound631 by the archers:4480 7198 all3605 that are found4672 in thee are bound631 together,3162 which have fled1272 from far.4480 7350

4 Therefore5921 3651 said559 I, Look away8159 from4480 me; I will weep1065 bitterly,4843 labor213 not408 to comfort5162 me, because5921 of the spoiling7701 of the daughter1323 of my people.5971

5 For3588 it is a day3117 of trouble,4103 and of treading down,4001 and of perplexity3998 by the Lord136 GOD3069 of hosts6635 in the valley1516 of vision,2384 breaking down6979 the walls,7023 and of crying7771 to413 the mountains.2022

6 And Elam5867 bore5375 the quiver827 with chariots7393 of men120 and horsemen,6571 and Kir7024 uncovered6168 the shield.4043

7 And it shall come to pass,1961 that thy choicest4055 valleys6010 shall be full4390 of chariots,7393 and the horsemen6571 shall set themselves in array7896 7896 at the gate.8179

8 And he discovered1540 853 the covering4539 of Judah,3063 and thou didst look5027 in that1931 day3117 to413 the armor5402 of the house1004 of the forest.3293

9 Ye have seen7200 also the breaches1233 of the city5892 of David,1732 that3588 they are many:7231 and ye gathered together6908 853 the waters4325 of the lower8481 pool.1295

10 And ye have numbered5608 the houses1004 of Jerusalem,3389 and the houses1004 have ye broken down5422 to fortify1219 the wall.2346

11 Ye made6213 also a ditch4724 between996 the two walls2346 for the water4325 of the old3465 pool:1295 but ye have not3808 looked5027 unto413 the maker6213 thereof, neither3808 had respect7200 unto him that fashioned3335 it long ago.4480 7350

12 And in that1931 day3117 did the Lord136 GOD3069 of hosts6635 call7121 to weeping,1065 and to mourning,4553 and to baldness,7144 and to girding2296 with sackcloth: 8242

13 And behold2009 joy8342 and gladness,8057 slaying2026 oxen,1241 and killing7819 sheep,6629 eating398 flesh,1320 and drinking8354 wine:3196 let us eat398 and drink;8354 for3588 tomorrow4279 we shall die.4191

14 And it was revealed1540 in mine ears241 by the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 Surely518 this2088 iniquity5771 shall not be purged3722 from you till5704 ye die,4191 saith559 the Lord136 GOD3069 of hosts.6635

15 Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD3069 of hosts,6635 Go,1980 get935 thee unto413 this2088 treasurer,5532 even unto5921 Shebna,7644 which834 is over5921 the house,1004 and say,

16 What4100 hast thou here?6311 and whom4310 hast thou here,6311 that3588 thou hast hewed thee out2672 a sepulcher6913 here,6311 as he that heweth him out2672 a sepulcher6913 on high,4791 and that graveth2710 a habitation4908 for himself in a rock?5553

17 Behold,2009 the LORD3068 will carry thee away2904 with a mighty1397 captivity,2925 and will surely cover5844 5844 thee.

18 He will surely violently turn6801 6801 and toss6802 thee like a ball1754 into413 a large7342 3027 country:776 there8033 shalt thou die,4191 and there8033 the chariots4818 of thy glory3519 shall be the shame7036 of thy lord's113 house.1004

19 And I will drive1920 thee from thy station,4480 4673 and from thy state4480 4612 shall he pull thee down.2040

20 And it shall come to pass1961 in that1931 day,3117 that I will call7121 my servant5650 Eliakim471 the son1121 of Hilkiah: 2518

21 And I will clothe3847 him with thy robe,3801 and strengthen2388 him with thy girdle,73 and I will commit5414 thy government4475 into his hand:3027 and he shall be1961 a father1 to the inhabitants3427 of Jerusalem,3389 and to the house1004 of Judah.3063

22 And the key4668 of the house1004 of David1732 will I lay5414 upon5921 his shoulder;7926 so he shall open,6605 and none369 shall shut;5462 and he shall shut,5462 and none369 shall open.6605

23 And I will fasten8628 him as a nail3489 in a sure539 place;4725 and he shall be1961 for a glorious3519 throne3678 to his father's1 house.1004

24 And they shall hang8518 upon5921 him all3605 the glory3519 of his father's1 house,1004 the offspring6631 and the issue,6849 all3605 vessels3627 of small quantity,6996 from the vessels4480 3627 of cups,101 even to5704 all3605 the vessels3627 of flagons.5035

25 In that1931 day,3117 saith5002 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 shall the nail3489 that is fastened8628 in the sure539 place4725 be removed,4185 and be cut down,1438 and fall;5307 and the burden4853 that834 was upon5921 it shall be cut off:3772 for3588 the LORD3068 hath spoken1696 it.

1 THE prophecy concerning the valley of vision. What do you see here, that you are all gone up to the housetops?

1 The burden4853 of the valley1516 of vision.2384 What4100 aileth thee now,645 that3588 thou art wholly3605 gone up5927 to the housetops?1406

2 The city is full of tumult, the mighty city is full of noise; your slain men are not slain with the sword nor dead in battle.

2 Thou that art full4392 of stirs,8663 a tumultuous1993 city,5892 a joyous5947 city:7151 thy slain2491 men are not3808 slain2491 with the sword,2719 nor3808 dead4191 in battle.4421

3 All your princes are fled together, they are surrounded by the archers; all that were found in you are bound together; they have fled to far off places.

3 All3605 thy rulers7101 are fled5074 together,3162 they are bound631 by the archers:4480 7198 all3605 that are found4672 in thee are bound631 together,3162 which have fled1272 from far.4480 7350

4 Therefore said I, Leave me alone, I will weep bitterly; trouble not yourself to comfort me, because of the destruction of the daughter of my people.

4 Therefore5921 3651 said559 I, Look away8159 from4480 me; I will weep1065 bitterly,4843 labor213 not408 to comfort5162 me, because5921 of the spoiling7701 of the daughter1323 of my people.5971

5 For it is a day of trouble and of treading down and of weeping before the LORD God of hosts in the valley of vision; they have surveyed the walls, and shouted upon the mountains.

5 For3588 it is a day3117 of trouble,4103 and of treading down,4001 and of perplexity3998 by the Lord136 GOD3069 of hosts6635 in the valley1516 of vision,2384 breaking down6979 the walls,7023 and of crying7771 to413 the mountains.2022

6 And Elam bore the quiver with the chariots of men and horsemen, and the shields were seen on the wall.

6 And Elam5867 bore5375 the quiver827 with chariots7393 of men120 and horsemen,6571 and Kir7024 uncovered6168 the shield.4043

7 And it shall come to pass that your choicest valleys shall be full of chariots, and the horsemen shall set themselves in array at the gates.

7 And it shall come to pass,1961 that thy choicest4055 valleys6010 shall be full4390 of chariots,7393 and the horsemen6571 shall set themselves in array7896 7896 at the gate.8179

8 And the defenses of Judah shall be laid bare, and you shall see on that day the armour of the house of the forest.

8 And he discovered1540 853 the covering4539 of Judah,3063 and thou didst look5027 in that1931 day3117 to413 the armor5402 of the house1004 of the forest.3293

9 You have seen also the breaches of the city of David, that they are many; and you have gathered together the waters of the lower pool.

9 Ye have seen7200 also the breaches1233 of the city5892 of David,1732 that3588 they are many:7231 and ye gathered together6908 853 the waters4325 of the lower8481 pool.1295

10 And you have supplied the houses of Jerusalem with water, and you have broken down the houses to fortify the walls.

10 And ye have numbered5608 the houses1004 of Jerusalem,3389 and the houses1004 have ye broken down5422 to fortify1219 the wall.2346

11 And you made ditches between the two walls for the water of the old pool; but you have not looked to the maker thereof, neither had respect to him who fashioned it long ago.

11 Ye made6213 also a ditch4724 between996 the two walls2346 for the water4325 of the old3465 pool:1295 but ye have not3808 looked5027 unto413 the maker6213 thereof, neither3808 had respect7200 unto him that fashioned3335 it long ago.4480 7350

12 And in that day the LORD God of hosts called to weeping and to mourning and to baldness and to girding with sackcloth;

12 And in that1931 day3117 did the Lord136 GOD3069 of hosts6635 call7121 to weeping,1065 and to mourning,4553 and to baldness,7144 and to girding2296 with sackcloth: 8242

13 And behold joy and gladness, slaughtering oxen and killing sheep, eating meat and drinking wine; let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we shall die.

13 And behold2009 joy8342 and gladness,8057 slaying2026 oxen,1241 and killing7819 sheep,6629 eating398 flesh,1320 and drinking8354 wine:3196 let us eat398 and drink;8354 for3588 tomorrow4279 we shall die.4191

14 And it was revealed in my ears by the LORD of hosts, saying, Surely this iniquity shall not be purged from you till you die, says the LORD God of hosts.

14 And it was revealed1540 in mine ears241 by the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 Surely518 this2088 iniquity5771 shall not be purged3722 from you till5704 ye die,4191 saith559 the Lord136 GOD3069 of hosts.6635

15 Thus says the LORD God of hosts: Go, get to this treasurer, even to Shebna, who is over the household, and say to him,

15 Thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD3069 of hosts,6635 Go,1980 get935 thee unto413 this2088 treasurer,5532 even unto5921 Shebna,7644 which834 is over5921 the house,1004 and say,

16 What do you here? And what have you here, that you have hewn a tomb for yourself, as he who hews for himself a tomb on high and carves a habitation for himself in a rock?

16 What4100 hast thou here?6311 and whom4310 hast thou here,6311 that3588 thou hast hewed thee out2672 a sepulcher6913 here,6311 as he that heweth him out2672 a sepulcher6913 on high,4791 and that graveth2710 a habitation4908 for himself in a rock?5553

17 Behold, O man, the LORD will surely cast you away, and will surely forsake you.

17 Behold,2009 the LORD3068 will carry thee away2904 with a mighty1397 captivity,2925 and will surely cover5844 5844 thee.

18 And he shall afflict you like the affliction of a company of soldiers besieged in a fortress from which there is no escape; there shall you die, and there the chariots of your glory shall be the shame of your master's house.

18 He will surely violently turn6801 6801 and toss6802 thee like a ball1754 into413 a large7342 3027 country:776 there8033 shalt thou die,4191 and there8033 the chariots4818 of thy glory3519 shall be the shame7036 of thy lord's113 house.1004

19 And I will take away your glory, and will cast you down from your position.

19 And I will drive1920 thee from thy station,4480 4673 and from thy state4480 4612 shall he pull thee down.2040

20 And it shall come to pass in that day, says the LORD, I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah;

20 And it shall come to pass1961 in that1931 day,3117 that I will call7121 my servant5650 Eliakim471 the son1121 of Hilkiah: 2518

21 And I will clothe him with your robe and will gird him with your girdle, and I will commit your government into his hand; and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to the house of Judah.

21 And I will clothe3847 him with thy robe,3801 and strengthen2388 him with thy girdle,73 and I will commit5414 thy government4475 into his hand:3027 and he shall be1961 a father1 to the inhabitants3427 of Jerusalem,3389 and to the house1004 of Judah.3063

22 And I will place upon his shoulder the keys of the house of David; so he shall open and none shall shut, and he shall shut and none shall open.

22 And the key4668 of the house1004 of David1732 will I lay5414 upon5921 his shoulder;7926 so he shall open,6605 and none369 shall shut;5462 and he shall shut,5462 and none369 shall open.6605

23 And I will fasten him as a nail in a sure place; and he shall be for a glorious throne to his father's house.

23 And I will fasten8628 him as a nail3489 in a sure539 place;4725 and he shall be1961 for a glorious3519 throne3678 to his father's1 house.1004

24 And they shall hang upon him all the glory of his father's house, both the honorable men and the glorious men, and all small vessels, from instruments of music to the harp.

24 And they shall hang8518 upon5921 him all3605 the glory3519 of his father's1 house,1004 the offspring6631 and the issue,6849 all3605 vessels3627 of small quantity,6996 from the vessels4480 3627 of cups,101 even to5704 all3605 the vessels3627 of flagons.5035

25 In that day, says the LORD of hosts, shall the nail that is fastened in a sure place be removed and be overthrown and fall; and the burden that was upon it shall be destroyed; for the LORD has spoken it.

25 In that1931 day,3117 saith5002 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 shall the nail3489 that is fastened8628 in the sure539 place4725 be removed,4185 and be cut down,1438 and fall;5307 and the burden4853 that834 was upon5921 it shall be cut off:3772 for3588 the LORD3068 hath spoken1696 it.
