22The oracle concerning the valley of vision. What is the matter with you now, that you have all gone up to the housetops?H4853H1516H2384H645H5927H14062You 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.H4392H8663H1993H5892H5947H7151H2491H2491H2719H4191H44213All 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.H7101H5074H3162H631H7198H4672H631H3162H1272H73504Therefore 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."H559H8159H1065H4843H213H5162H7701H1323H59715For 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.H3117H4103H4001H3998H136H3069H6635H1516H2384H6979H7023H7771H20226And Elam took up the quiver With the chariots, infantry, [and] horsemen; And Kir uncovered the shield.H5867H5375H827H7393H120H6571H7024H6168H40437Then your choicest valleys were full of chariots, And the horsemen took up fixed positions at the gate.H4005H6010H4390H7393H6571H7896H7896H81798And He removed the defense of Judah. In that day you depended on the weapons of the house of the forest,H1540H4539H3063H5027H3117H5402H1004H32939And you saw that the breaches In the [wall] of the city of David were many; And you collected the waters of the lower pool.H7200H1233H5892H1732H7231H6908H4325H8481H129510Then you counted the houses of Jerusalem, And you tore down houses to fortify the wall.H5608H1004H3389H1004H5422H1219H234611And 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.H6213H4724H2346H4325H3465H1295H5027H6213H7200H3335H735012Therefore in that day the Lord GOD of hosts, called [you] to weeping, to wailing, To shaving the head, and to wearing sackcloth.H3117H136H3069H6635H7121H1065H4553H7144H2296H824213Instead, 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."H8342H8057H2026H1241H7819H6629H398H1320H8354H3196H398H8354H4279H419114But 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.H1540H241H3068H6635H5771H3722H4191H559H136H3069H663515Thus says the Lord GOD of hosts, "Come, go to this steward, To Shebna, who is in charge of the [royal] household,H559H136H3069H6635H3212H935H5532H7644H100416'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?H2672H6913H6311H2672H6913H4791H2710H4908H555317'Behold, the LORD is about to hurl you headlong, O man. And He is about to grasp you firmly,H3068H2904H1397H2925H5844H584418[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. 'H6801H6801H6802H1754H7342H3027H776H4191H4818H3519H7036H113H100419"And I will depose you from your office, And I will pull you down from your station.H1920H4673H4612H204020"Then it will come about in that day, That I will summon My servant Eliakim the son of HilkiahH3117H7121H5650H471H1121H251821And 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.H3847H3801H2388H73H5414H4475H3027H1H3427H3389H1004H306322"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.H4668H1004H1732H5414H7926H6605H5462H5462H660523"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.H8628H3489H539H4725H3519H3678H1H100424"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.H8518H3519H1H1004H6631H6849H3627H6996H3627H101H3627H503525"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
