Isaiah 22

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

The burden of the valley of vision. What troubles thee now, that thou have wholly gone up to the housetops?

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

O thou that are full of shoutings, a tumultuous city, a joyous town. Thy slain are not slain with the sword, nor are they dead in battle.

3 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.

All thy rulers fled away together. They were bound by the archers. All who were found of thee were bound together; they fled afar off.

4 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.

Therefore I said, Look away from me. I will weep bitterly. Labor not to comfort me for the destruction of the daughter of my people.

5 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.

For it is a day of trouble, and of treading down, and of perplexity, from the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, in the valley of vision, a breaking down of the walls, and a crying to the mountains.

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

And Elam bore the quiver, with chariots of men and horsemen, and Kir uncovered the shield.

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

And it came to pass, that thy choicest valleys were full of chariots, and the horsemen set themselves in array at the gate.

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

And he took away the covering of Judah, and thou looked in that day to the armor in the house of the forest.

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

And ye saw the breaches of the city of David, that they were many. And to fortify the wall, ye gathered together the waters of the lower pool,

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

and ye numbered the houses of Jerusalem, and ye broke down the houses.

11 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.

Ye also made a reservoir between the two walls for the water of the old pool. But ye did not look to him who had done this, nor had ye respect to him who purposed it long ago.

12 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.

And in that day the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, called for weeping, and for mourning, and for baldness, and for girding with sackcloth.

13 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.

And, behold, joy and gladness, slaying oxen and killing sheep, eating flesh and drinking wine. Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we shall die.

14 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.

And Jehovah of hosts revealed himself in my ears, Surely this iniquity shall not be forgiven you till ye die, says the Lord, Jehovah of hosts.

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

Thus says the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, Go, get thee to this treasurer, even to Shebna, who is over the house, and say,

16 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.

What are thou doing here? And whom have thou here, that thou have hewed thee out here a sepulcher? Hewing him out a sepulcher on high, carving a habitation for himself in the rock!

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

Behold, Jehovah, like a strong man, will hurl thee away violently. Yea, he will wrap thee up closely.

18 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.

He will surely wind thee round and round, tossing like a ball into a large country. There thou shall die, and there the chariots of thy glory shall be, thou shame of thy lord's house.

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

And I will thrust thee from thine office, and thou shall be pulled down from thy station.

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

And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah.

21 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.

And I will clothe him with thy robe, and strengthen him with thy belt. And I will commit thy government into his hand, and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah.

22 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.

And I will lay the key of the house of David upon his shoulder, and he shall open, and none shall shut, and he shall shut, and none shall open.

23 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.

And I will fasten him as a nail in a sure place, and he shall be for a throne of glory to his father's house.

24 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.

And they shall hang upon him all the glory of his father's house, the offspring and the issue, every small vessel, from the cups even to all the flagons.

25 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.

In that day, says Jehovah of hosts, the nail that was fastened in a sure place shall give way, and it shall be hewn down, and fall. And the burden that was upon it shall be cut off, for Jehovah has spoken it.
