An Oracle against Jerusalem

22An oracle against the Valley of Vision: What's the matter with you? Why have all of you gone up to the rooftops?H4853H1516H2384H645H5927H1406 2The noisy city, the jubilant town, is filled with revelry. Your dead did not die by the sword; they were not killed in battle.H4392H8663H1993H5892H5947H7151H2491H2491H2719H4191H4421 3All your rulers have fled together, captured without a bow. All your fugitives were captured together; they had fled far away.H7101H5074H3162H631H7198H4672H631H3162H1272H7350 4Therefore I said, "Look away from me! Let me weep bitterly! Do not try to comfort me about the destruction of my dear people."H559H8159H1065H4843H213H5162H7701H1323H5971 5For the Lord God of Hosts had a day of tumult, trampling, and bewilderment in the Valley of Vision— people shouting and crying to the mountains;H3117H4103H4001H3998H136H3069H6635H1516H2384H6979H7023H7771H2022 6Elam took up a quiver with chariots and horsemen, and Kir uncovered the shield.H5867H5375H827H7393H120H6571H7024H6168H4043 7Your best valleys were full of chariots, and horsemen were positioned at the gates.H4005H6010H4390H7393H6571H7896H7896H8179 8He removed the defenses of Judah. On that day you looked to the weapons in the House of the Forest.H1540H4539H3063H5027H3117H5402H1004H3293 9You saw that there were many breaches in [the walls of] the city of David. You collected water from the lower pool.H7200H1233H5892H1732H7231H6908H4325H8481H1295 10You counted the houses of Jerusalem so that you could tear them down to fortify the wall.H5608H1004H3389H1004H5422H1219H2346 11You made a reservoir between the walls for the waters of the ancient pool, but you did not look to the One who made it, or consider the One who created it long ago.H6213H4724H2346H4325H3465H1295H5027H6213H7200H3335H7350 12On that day the Lord God of Hosts called for weeping, for wailing, for shaven heads, and for the wearing of sackcloth.H3117H136H3069H6635H7121H1065H4553H7144H2296H8242 13But look: joy and gladness, butchering of cattle, slaughtering of sheep, eating of meat, and drinking of wine— "Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die!"H8342H8057H2026H1241H7819H6629H398H1320H8354H3196H398H8354H4279H4191 14The LORD of Hosts has revealed [this] in my hearing: "This sin of yours will never be wiped out." The Lord God of Hosts has spoken.H1540H241H3068H6635H5771H3722H4191H559H136H3069H6635

An Oracle against Shebna

15The Lord God of Hosts said: "Go to Shebna, that steward who is in charge of the palace, [and say to him:]H559H136H3069H6635H3212H935H5532H7644H1004 16What are you doing here? Who authorized you to carve out a tomb for yourself here, carving your tomb on the height and cutting a crypt for yourself out of rock?H2672H6913H6311H2672H6913H4791H2710H4908H5553 17Look, young man! The LORD is about to shake you violently. He will take hold of you,H3068H2904H1397H2925H5844H5844 18wind you up into a ball, and sling you into a wide land. There you will die, and there your glorious chariots will be— a disgrace to the house of your lord.H6801H6801H6802H1754H7342H3027H776H4191H4818H3519H7036H113H1004 19I will remove you from your office; you will be ousted from your position.H1920H4673H4612H2040 20"On that day I will call for my servant, Eliakim son of Hilkiah.H3117H7121H5650H471H1121H2518 21I will clothe him with your robe and tie your sash around him. I will put your authority into his hand, and he will be like a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to the House of Judah.H3847H3801H2388H73H5414H4475H3027H1H3427H3389H1004H3063 22I will place the key of the House of David on his shoulder; what he opens, no one can close; what he closes, no one can open.H4668H1004H1732H5414H7926H6605H5462H5462H6605 23I will drive him, like a peg, into a firm place. He will be a throne of honor for his father's house.H8628H3489H539H4725H3519H3678H1H1004 24They will hang on him the whole burden of his father's house: the descendants and the offshoots— all the small vessels, from bowls to every kind of jar.H8518H3519H1H1004H6631H6849H3627H6996H3627H101H3627H5035 25On that day"— the declaration of the LORD of Hosts— "the peg that was driven into a firm place will give way, be cut off, and fall, and the load on it will be destroyed." Indeed, the LORD has spoken.H3117H5002H3068H6635H3489H8628H539H4725H4185H1438H5307H4853H3772H3068H1696
