The Valley of Vision

22The oracle concerning the valley of vision. What is the matter with you now, that you have all gone up to the housetops?H4853H1516H2384H645H5927H1406 2You who were full of noise, You boisterous town, you exultant city; Your slain were not slain with the sword, Nor did they die in battle.H4392H8663H1993H5892H5947H7151H2491H2491H2719H4191H4421 3All your rulers have fled together, [And] have been captured without the bow; All of you who were found were taken captive together, Though they had fled far away.H7101H5074H3162H631H7198H4672H631H3162H1272H7350 4Therefore I say, "Turn your eyes away from me, Let me weep bitterly, Do not try to comfort me concerning the destruction of the daughter of my people."H559H8159H1065H4843H213H5162H7701H1323H5971 5For the Lord GOD of hosts has a day of panic, subjugation, and confusion In the valley of vision, A breaking down of walls And a crying to the mountain.H3117H4103H4001H3998H136H3069H6635H1516H2384H6979H7023H7771H2022 6And Elam took up the quiver With the chariots, infantry, [and] horsemen; And Kir uncovered the shield.H5867H5375H827H7393H120H6571H7024H6168H4043 7Then your choicest valleys were full of chariots, And the horsemen took up fixed positions at the gate.H4005H6010H4390H7393H6571H7896H7896H8179 8And He removed the defense of Judah. In that day you depended on the weapons of the house of the forest,H1540H4539H3063H5027H3117H5402H1004H3293 9And you saw that the breaches In the [wall] of the city of David were many; And you collected the waters of the lower pool.H7200H1233H5892H1732H7231H6908H4325H8481H1295 10Then you counted the houses of Jerusalem, And you tore down houses to fortify the wall.H5608H1004H3389H1004H5422H1219H2346 11And you made a reservoir between the two walls For the waters of the old pool. But you did not depend on Him who made it, Nor did you take into consideration Him who planned it long ago.H6213H4724H2346H4325H3465H1295H5027H6213H7200H3335H7350 12Therefore in that day the Lord GOD of hosts, called [you] to weeping, to wailing, To shaving the head, and to wearing sackcloth.H3117H136H3069H6635H7121H1065H4553H7144H2296H8242 13Instead, there is gaiety and gladness, Killing of cattle and slaughtering of sheep, Eating of meat and drinking of wine: "Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we may die."H8342H8057H2026H1241H7819H6629H398H1320H8354H3196H398H8354H4279H4191 14But the LORD of hosts revealed Himself to me, "Surely this iniquity shall not be forgiven you Until you die," says the Lord GOD of hosts.H1540H241H3068H6635H5771H3722H4191H559H136H3069H6635 15Thus says the Lord GOD of hosts, "Come, go to this steward, To Shebna, who is in charge of the [royal] household,H559H136H3069H6635H3212H935H5532H7644H1004 16'What right do you have here, And whom do you have here, That you have hewn a tomb for yourself here, You who hew a tomb on the height, You who carve a resting place for yourself in the rock?H2672H6913H6311H2672H6913H4791H2710H4908H5553 17'Behold, the LORD is about to hurl you headlong, O man. And He is about to grasp you firmly,H3068H2904H1397H2925H5844H5844 18[And] roll you tightly like a ball, [To be cast] into a vast country; There you will die, And there your splendid chariots will be, You shame of your master's house. 'H6801H6801H6802H1754H7342H3027H776H4191H4818H3519H7036H113H1004 19"And I will depose you from your office, And I will pull you down from your station.H1920H4673H4612H2040 20"Then it will come about in that day, That I will summon My servant Eliakim the son of HilkiahH3117H7121H5650H471H1121H2518 21And I will clothe him with your tunic, And tie your sash securely about him, I will entrust him with your authority, And he will become a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to the house of Judah.H3847H3801H2388H73H5414H4475H3027H1H3427H3389H1004H3063 22"Then I will set the key of the house of David on his shoulder, When he opens no one will shut, When he shuts no one will open.H4668H1004H1732H5414H7926H6605H5462H5462H6605 23"And I will drive him [like] a peg in a firm place, And he will become a throne of glory to his father's house.H8628H3489H539H4725H3519H3678H1H1004 24"So they will hang on him all the glory of his father's house, offspring and issue, all the least of vessels, from bowls to all the jars.H8518H3519H1H1004H6631H6849H3627H6996H3627H101H3627H5035 25"In that day," declares the LORD of hosts, "the peg driven in a firm place will give way; it will even break off and fall, and the load hanging on it will be cut off, for the LORD has spoken."H3117H5002H3068H6635H3489H8628H539H4725H4185H1438H5307H4853H3772H3068H1696
