< 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.
2 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 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 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 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 it took up a quiver with chariotry of a man horsemen and Kir it uncovered a 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.
8 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 [the] breaches of [the] city of David you saw that they were many and you gathered [the] waters of the pool lower.
10 And [the] houses of Jerusalem you counted and you pulled down the houses to fortify the city 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.
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.
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.
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.
15 Thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh of hosts come go to the steward this to Shebna who [is] over the house.
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.
17 There! Yahweh [is] about to hurl away you hurling O man and [is] about to grasp you completely.
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.
19 And I will push you from office your and from post your he will tear down you.
20 And it will be in the day that and I will summon servant my 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
