Isaiah 22
22The oracle concerning the valley of vision. What do you mean that you have gone up, all of you, to the housetops,H4853H1516H2384H645H5927H14062you who are full of shoutings, tumultuous city, exultant town? Your slain are not slain with the sword or dead in battle.H4392H8663H1993H5892H5947H7151H2491H2491H2719H4191H44213All your leaders have fled together; without the bow they were captured. All of you who were found were captured, though they had fled far away.H7101H5074H3162H631H7198H4672H631H3162H1272H73504Therefore I said: "Look away from me; let me weep bitter tears; do not labor to comfort me concerning the destruction of the daughter of my people."H559H8159H1065H4843H213H5162H7701H1323H59715For 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 shouting to the mountains.H3117H4103H4001H3998H136H3069H6635H1516H2384H6979H7023H7771H20226And Elam bore the quiver with chariots and horsemen, and Kir uncovered the shield.H5867H5375H827H7393H120H6571H7024H6168H40437Your choicest valleys were full of chariots, and the horsemen took their stand at the gates.H4005H6010H4390H7393H6571H7896H7896H81798He has taken away the covering of Judah. In that day you looked to the weapons of the House of the Forest,H1540H4539H3063H5027H3117H5402H1004H32939and you saw that the breaches of the city of David were many. You collected the waters of the lower pool,H7200H1233H5892H1732H7231H6908H4325H8481H129510and you counted the houses of Jerusalem, and you broke down the houses to fortify the wall.H5608H1004H3389H1004H5422H1219H234611You 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 see him who planned it long ago.H6213H4724H2346H4325H3465H1295H5027H6213H7200H3335H735012In that day the Lord GOD of hosts called for weeping and mourning, for baldness and wearing sackcloth;H3117H136H3069H6635H7121H1065H4553H7144H2296H824213and behold, joy and gladness, killing oxen and slaughtering sheep, eating flesh and drinking wine. "Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die."H8342H8057H2026H1241H7819H6629H398H1320H8354H3196H398H8354H4279H419114The LORD of hosts has revealed himself in my ears: "Surely this iniquity will not be atoned for you until you die," says the Lord GOD of hosts.H1540H241H3068H6635H5771H3722H4191H559H136H3069H663515Thus says the Lord GOD of hosts, "Come, go to this steward, to Shebna, who is over the household, and say to him:H559H136H3069H6635H3212H935H5532H7644H100416What have you to do here, and whom have you here, that you have cut out here a tomb for yourself, you who cut out a tomb on the height and carve a dwelling for yourself in the rock?H2672H6913H6311H2672H6913H4791H2710H4908H555317Behold, the LORD will hurl you away violently, O you strong man. He will seize firm hold on youH3068H2904H1397H2925H5844H584418and whirl you around and around, and throw you like a ball into a wide land. There you shall die, and there shall be your glorious chariots, you shame of your master's house.H6801H6801H6802H1754H7342H3027H776H4191H4818H3519H7036H113H100419I will thrust you from your office, and you will be pulled down from your station.H1920H4673H4612H204020In that day I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah,H3117H7121H5650H471H1121H251821and I will clothe him with your robe, and will bind your sash on him, and will commit your authority to his hand. And he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to the house of Judah.H3847H3801H2388H73H5414H4475H3027H1H3427H3389H1004H306322And I will place on his shoulder the key of the house of David. He shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open.H4668H1004H1732H5414H7926H6605H5462H5462H660523And I will fasten him like a peg in a secure place, and he will become a throne of honor to his father's house.H8628H3489H539H4725H3519H3678H1H100424And they will hang on him the whole honor of his father's house, the offspring and issue, every small vessel, from the cups to all the flagons.H8518H3519H1H1004H6631H6849H3627H6996H3627H101H3627H503525In that day, declares the LORD of hosts, the peg that was fastened in a secure place will give way, and it will be cut down and fall, and the load that was on it will be cut off, for the LORD has spoken."H3117H5002H3068H6635H3489H8628H539H4725H4185H1438H5307H4853H3772H3068H1696
