Isaiah 22

1 The burden of the valley of vision. What aileth thee nowe that thou art wholy gone vp vnto the house toppes?

[the] oracle of [the] valley of Vision what? [is] to you then that you have gone up all of you to the roofs.

2 Thou that art full of noise, a citie full of brute, a ioyous citie: thy slaine men shall not bee slaine with sworde, nor die in battell.

Noises - full O city turbulent O town jubilant slain [ones] your not [are] slain of a sword and not [are] dead of battle.

3 All thy princes shall flee together from the bowe: they shalbe bound: all that shall be found in thee, shall be bound together, which haue fled from farre.

All rulers your they have fled together from a bow they have been captured all found [ones] your they were captured together from a distance they had fled.

4 Therefore said I, Turne away from me: I wil weepe bitterly: labour not to comfort mee for the destruction of the daughter of my people.

There-fore I said look away from me I will show bitterness with weeping may not you insist to comfort me on [the] devastation of [the] daughter of people my.

5 For it is a day of trouble, and of ruine, and of perplexitie by the Lord God of hostes in the valley of vision, breaking downe the citie: and a crying vnto the mountaines.

For a day of consternation and trampling and confusion [belongs] to [the] Lord Yahweh of hosts in [the] valley of vision a breaking down of a wall and a crying out to the mountain.

6 And Elam bare the quiuer in a mans charet with horsemen, and Kir vncouered the shield.

And Elam it took up a quiver with chariotry of a man horsemen and Kir it uncovered a shield.

7 And thy chiefe valleis were full of charets, and the horsemen set themselues in aray against the gate.

And it was [the] choicest of valleys your they were full chariotry and the horsemen certainly they took a stand the gate towards.

8 And hee discouered the couering of Iudah: and thou didest looke in that day to the armour of the house of the forest.

And he uncovered [the] covering of Judah and you looked in the day that to [the] weaponry of [the] House of the Forest.

9 And ye haue seene the breaches of the citie of Dauid: for they were many, and ye gathered the waters of the lower poole.

And [the] breaches of [the] city of David you saw that they were many and you gathered [the] waters of the pool lower.

10 And yee nombred the houses of Ierusalem, and the houses haue yee broken downe to fortifie the wall,

And [the] houses of Jerusalem you counted and you pulled down the houses to fortify the city wall.

11 And haue also made a ditche betweene the two walles, for the waters of the olde poole, and haue not looked vnto the maker thereof, neither had respect vnto him that formed it of olde.

And a reservoir - you made between the two walls for [the] water of the pool old and not you looked to [the] [one who] made it and [the] [one who] planned it from distant [time] not you considered.

12 And in that day did the Lord God of hosts call vnto weeping and mourning, and to baldnes and girding with sackecloth.

And he called [the] Lord Yahweh of hosts in the day that for weeping and for wailing and for baldness and for girding of sackcloth.

13 And beholde, ioy and gladnes, slaying oxen and killing sheepe, eating flesh, and drinking wine, eating and drinking: for to morowe we shall die.

And there! - joy and gladness they are killing - cattle and they are slaughtering sheep they are eating meat and they are drinking wine we will eat and we will drink for tomorrow we will die.

14 And it was declared in ye eares of the Lord of hostes. Surely this iniquitie shall not be purged from you, til ye die, saith the Lord God of hostes.

And he has revealed himself in ears my Yahweh of hosts if it will be atoned for (the iniquity *LA(bh)*) this for you until you will die! he says [the] Lord Yahweh of hosts.

15 Thus sayeth the Lord God of hostes, Goe, get thee to that treasurer, to Shebna, the steward of the house, and say,

Thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh of hosts come go to the steward this to Shebna who [is] over the house.

16 What haste thou to doe here? and whome hast thou here? that thou shouldest here hewe thee out a sepulchre, as he that heweth out his sepulchre in an hie place, or that graueth an habitation for him selfe in a rocke?

What? [belongs] to you here and who? [belongs] to you here that you have dug out for yourself here a tomb digging out high place tomb his cutting in the rock a dwelling for himself.

17 Beholde, the Lord wil carie thee away with a great captiuitie, and will surely couer thee.

There! Yahweh [is] about to hurl away you hurling O man and [is] about to grasp you completely.

18 He wil surely rolle and turne thee like a bal in a large countrey: there shalt thou die, and there the charets of thy glory shalbe the shame of thy lordes house.

Certainly he will wind up you a winding a ball to a land broad of both hands there you will die and there [the] chariots of splendor your [will be] [the] disgrace of [the] house of master your.

19 And I wil driue thee from thy station, and out of thy dwelling will he destroy thee.

And I will push you from office your and from post your he will tear down you.

20 And in that day will I call my seruant Eliakim the sonne of Hilkiah,

And it will be in the day that and I will summon servant my Eliakim [the] son of Hilkiah.

21 And with thy garments will I clothe him, and with thy girdle will I strengthen him: thy power also will I commit into his hande, and hee shalbe a father of the inhabitats of Ierusalem, and of the house of Iudah.

And I will clothe him tunic your and sash your I will make firm on him and authority your I will put in hand his and he will become a father of [the] inhabitant[s] of Jerusalem and of [the] house of Judah.

22 And the key of the house of Dauid will I lay vpon his shoulder: so hee shall open, and no man shall shut: and he shall shut, and no man shall open.

And I will put [the] key of [the] house of David on shoulder his and he will open and there not [will be one who] shuts and he will shut and there not [will be one who] opens.

23 And I will fasten him as a naile in a sure place, and hee shall be for the throne of glorie to his fathers house.

And I will drive him a tent peg in a place firm and he will become a seat of honor for [the] house of father his.

24 And they shall hang vpon him all the glorie of his fathers house, euen of the nephewes and posteritie all small vessels, from the vessels of the cuppes, euen to all the instruments of musike.

And they will hang on him all - [the] honor of [the] house of father his the descendants and the offshoot all [the] vessels of the small from [the] vessels of the bowls and unto all [the] vessels of the jars.

25 In that day, sayeth the Lord of hostes, shall the naile, that is fastned in the sure place, depart and shall be broken, and fall: and the burden, that was vpon it, shall bee cut off: for the Lord hath spoken it.

In the day that [the] utterance of Yahweh of hosts it will be removed the tent peg that was driven in a place firm and it will be cut down and it will fall and it will be cut off the burden which [was] on it for Yahweh he has spoken.
