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 prophecy concerning the valley of vision. What aileth thee now, That all thine inhabitants are gone up to the house-tops?

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

Thou that wast full of noise, A tumultuous city, a joyous city! Thy slain fall not by the sword; They are not slain 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 leaders flee together, By the bowmen are they bound; All found within thee are made captive together, Even they who have fled from afar.

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, say I, look away from me, that I may weep bitterly; Strive not to comfort me for the desolation 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 a day of trouble, of desolation, and of perplexity cometh From the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, in the valley of vision. They break down the walls; The cry reacheth to the mountains.

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

Elam beareth the quiver, With chariots full of men, and with horsemen; Kir uncovereth 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.

Thy fairest valleys, [[O Jerusalem, ]] are full of chariots; The horsemen set themselves in array against 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.

The veil of Judah is torn from her. But in such a day ye look to the armor of 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.

Ye mark how many are the breaches of the city of David, And collect 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.

Ye number the houses of Jerusalem, And ye break down the houses to prepare the wall;

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 make a reservoir between the two walls for the waters of the old pool; But ye look not to Him who hath done this; Ye regard not Him that hath prepared this from afar.

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.

The Lord, Jehovah of hosts, calleth you this day To weeping and to lamentation, To baldness and to 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.

But, behold, joy and gladness, Slaying oxen and killing sheep, Eating flesh and drinking wine! “Let us eat and drink, For to-morrow we 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.

Therefore it hath been revealed in my ears by Jehovah of hosts; “This iniquity shall not be forgiven you, till ye die,” Saith 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 saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts: Go in to this steward, To Shebna, who is over the household, 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 hast thou here, and whom hast thou here, That thou here hewest thee out a sepulchre, —That thou hewest out thy sepulchre on high, And gravest out a habitation for thyself in the rock?

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

Behold, Jehovah will cast thee headlong with a mighty thrust;

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 violently roll thee together like a ball; Like a ball will he hurl thee into a wide country. There shalt thou die; And there shall be thy splendid chariots, Thou disgrace of the house of thy lord!

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

I will drive thee from thy post, And from thy station I will pull thee down.

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

In that day I will call my servant, Even 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.

I will clothe him with thy robe, And bind thy girdle around him; Thy government will I commit to 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.

I will lay the key of the house of David upon his shoulder; 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.

I will fasten him as a peg in a sure place, And he shall be a glorious seat for 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.

Upon him shall hang all the glory of his father's house, The offspring and the offshoots; Every small vessel, from the goblet even to all the pitchers.

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, saith Jehovah of hosts, The peg that was once fastened in a sure place shall be moved; It shall be cut down, and fall, And the burden which was upon it shall come to the ground. For Jehovah hath said it.
