A Warning of Destruction of Jerusalem

22The oracle concerning the valley of vision. What do you mean that you have gone up, all of you, to the housetops,H4853H1516H2384H645H5927H1406 2you that are full of shoutings, tumultuous city, exultant town? Your slain are not slain by the sword, nor are they dead in battle.H4392H8663H1993H5892H5947H7151H2491H2491H2719H4191H4421 3Your rulers have all fled together; they were captured without the use of a bow. All of you who were found were captured, though they had fled far away.H7101H5074H3162H631H7198H4672H631H3162H1272H7350 4Therefore I said: Look away from me, let me weep bitter tears; do not try to comfort me for the destruction of my beloved people.H559H8159H1065H4843H213H5162H7701H1323H5971 5For the Lord GOD of hosts has a day of tumult and trampling and confusion in the valley of vision, a battering down of walls and a cry for help to the mountains.H3117H4103H4001H3998H136H3069H6635H1516H2384H6979H7023H7771H2022 6Elam bore the quiver with chariots and cavalry, and Kir uncovered the shield.H5867H5375H827H7393H120H6571H7024H6168H4043 7Your choicest valleys were full of chariots, and the cavalry took their stand at the gates.H4005H6010H4390H7393H6571H7896H7896H8179 8He has taken away the covering of Judah. On that day you looked to the weapons of the House of the Forest,H1540H4539H3063H5027H3117H5402H1004H3293 9and you saw that there were many breaches in the city of David, and you collected the waters of the lower pool.H7200H1233H5892H1732H7231H6908H4325H8481H1295 10You counted the houses of Jerusalem, and you broke down the houses to fortify the wall.H5608H1004H3389H1004H5422H1219H2346 11You made a reservoir between the two walls for the water of the old pool. But you did not look to him who did it, or have regard for him who planned it long ago.H6213H4724H2346H4325H3465H1295H5027H6213H7200H3335H7350 12In that day the Lord GOD of hosts called to weeping and mourning, to baldness and putting on sackcloth;H3117H136H3069H6635H7121H1065H4553H7144H2296H8242 13but instead there was joy and festivity, killing oxen and slaughtering sheep, eating meat and drinking wine. "Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die."H8342H8057H2026H1241H7819H6629H398H1320H8354H3196H398H8354H4279H4191 14The LORD of hosts has revealed himself in my ears: Surely this iniquity will not be forgiven you until you die, says the Lord GOD of hosts.H1540H241H3068H6635H5771H3722H4191H559H136H3069H6635

Denunciation of Self-Seeking Officials

15Thus says the Lord GOD of hosts: Come, go to this steward, to Shebna, who is master of the household, and say to him:H559H136H3069H6635H3212H935H5532H7644H1004 16What right do you have here? Who are your relatives here, that you have cut out a tomb here for yourself, cutting a tomb on the height, and carving a habitation for yourself in the rock?H2672H6913H6311H2672H6913H4791H2710H4908H5553 17The LORD is about to hurl you away violently, my fellow. He will seize firm hold on you,H3068H2904H1397H2925H5844H5844 18whirl you round and round, and throw you like a ball into a wide land; there you shall die, and there your splendid chariots shall lie, O you disgrace to your master's house!H6801H6801H6802H1754H7342H3027H776H4191H4818H3519H7036H113H1004 19I will thrust you from your office, and you will be pulled down from your post.H1920H4673H4612H2040 20On that day I will call my servant Eliakim son of Hilkiah,H3117H7121H5650H471H1121H2518 21and will clothe him with your robe and bind your sash on him. I will commit your authority to his hand, and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to the house of Judah.H3847H3801H2388H73H5414H4475H3027H1H3427H3389H1004H3063 22I will place on his shoulder the key of the house of David; he shall open, and no one shall shut; he shall shut, and no one shall open.H4668H1004H1732H5414H7926H6605H5462H5462H6605 23I will fasten him like a peg in a secure place, and he will become a throne of honor to his ancestral house.H8628H3489H539H4725H3519H3678H1H1004 24And they will hang on him the whole weight of his ancestral house, the offspring and issue, every small vessel, from the cups to all the flagons.H8518H3519H1H1004H6631H6849H3627H6996H3627H101H3627H5035 25On that day, says the LORD of hosts, the peg that was fastened in a secure place will give way; it will be cut down and fall, and the load that was on it will perish, for the LORD has spoken.H3117H5002H3068H6635H3489H8628H539H4725H4185H1438H5307H4853H3772H3068H1696
