Isaiah 22

Proclamation Against Jerusalem

22The burden against the Valley of Vision. What ails you now, that you have all gone up to the housetops,H4853H1516H2384H645H5927H14062You who are full of noise, A tumultuous city, a joyous city? Your slain men are not slain with the sword, Nor dead in battle.H4392H8663H1993H5892H5947H7151H2491H2491H2719H4191H44213All your rulers have fled together; They are captured by the archers. All who are found in you are bound together; They have fled from afar.H7101H5074H3162H631H7198H4672H631H3162H1272H73504Therefore I said, "Look away from me, I will weep bitterly; Do not labor to comfort me Because of the plundering of the daughter of my people."H559H8159H1065H4843H213H5162H7701H1323H59715For it is a day of trouble and treading down and perplexity By the Lord GOD of hosts In the Valley of Vision—Breaking down the walls And of crying to the mountain.H3117H4103H4001H3998H136H3069H6635H1516H2384H6979H7023H7771H20226Elam bore the quiver With chariots of men and horsemen, And Kir uncovered the shield.H5867H5375H827H7393H120H6571H7024H6168H40437It shall come to pass that your choicest valleys Shall be full of chariots, And the horsemen shall set themselves in array at the gate.H4005H6010H4390H7393H6571H7896H7896H81798He removed the protection of Judah. You looked in that day to the armor of the House of the Forest;H1540H4539H3063H5027H3117H5402H1004H32939You also saw the damage to the city of David, That it was great; And you gathered together the waters of the lower pool.H7200H1233H5892H1732H7231H6908H4325H8481H129510You numbered the houses of Jerusalem, And the houses you broke down To fortify the wall.H5608H1004H3389H1004H5422H1219H234611You also made a reservoir between the two walls For the water of the old pool. But you did not look to its Maker, Nor did you have respect for Him who fashioned it long ago.H6213H4724H2346H4325H3465H1295H5027H6213H7200H3335H735012And in that day the Lord GOD of hosts Called for weeping and for mourning, For baldness and for girding with sackcloth.H3117H136H3069H6635H7121H1065H4553H7144H2296H824213But instead, joy and gladness, Slaying oxen and killing sheep, Eating meat and drinking wine: "Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die!"H8342H8057H2026H1241H7819H6629H398H1320H8354H3196H398H8354H4279H419114Then it was revealed in my hearing by the LORD of hosts, "Surely for this iniquity there will be no atonement for you, Even to your death," says the Lord GOD of hosts.H1540H241H3068H6635H5771H3722H4191H559H136H3069H6635

The Judgment on Shebna

15Thus says the Lord GOD of hosts: "Go, proceed to this steward, To Shebna, who is over the house, and say:H559H136H3069H6635H3212H935H5532H7644H100416'What have you here, and whom have you here, That you have hewn a sepulcher here, As he who hews himself a sepulcher on high, Who carves a tomb for himself in a rock?H2672H6913H6311H2672H6913H4791H2710H4908H555317Indeed, the LORD will throw you away violently, O mighty man, And will surely seize you.H3068H2904H1397H2925H5844H584418He will surely turn violently and toss you like a ball Into a large country; There you shall die, and there your glorious chariots Shall be the shame of your master's house.H6801H6801H6802H1754H7342H3027H776H4191H4818H3519H7036H113H100419So I will drive you out of your office, And from your position he will pull you down.H1920H4673H4612H204020'Then it shall be in that day, That I will call My servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah;H3117H7121H5650H471H1121H251821I will clothe him with your robe And strengthen him with your belt; I will commit your responsibility into his hand. He shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem And to the house of Judah.H3847H3801H2388H73H5414H4475H3027H1H3427H3389H1004H306322The key of the house of David I will lay on his shoulder; So he shall open, and no one shall shut; And he shall shut, and no one shall open.H4668H1004H1732H5414H7926H6605H5462H5462H660523I will fasten him as a peg in a secure place, And he will become a glorious throne to his father's house.H8628H3489H539H4725H3519H3678H1H100424'They will hang on him all the glory of his father's house, the offspring and the posterity, all vessels of small quantity, from the cups to all the pitchers.H8518H3519H1H1004H6631H6849H3627H6996H3627H101H3627H503525'In that day,' says the LORD of hosts, 'the peg that is fastened in the secure place will be removed and be cut down and fall, and the burden that was on it will be cut off; for the LORD has spoken.'"H3117H5002H3068H6635H3489H8628H539H4725H4185H1438H5307H4853H3772H3068H1696
