Isaiah 22:3 (RSV) Revised Standard Version

1 The oracle concerning the valley of vision. What do you mean that you have gone up, all of you, to the housetops,
2 you who are full of shoutings, tumultuous city, exultant town? Your slain are not slain with the sword or dead in battle.
3 All your rulers have fled together, without the bow they were captured. All of you who were found were captured, though they had fled far away.
4 Therefore I said: "Look away from me, let me weep bitter tears; do not labor to comfort me for the destruction of the daughter of my people."
5 For the Lord GOD of hosts has a day of tumult and trampling and confusion in the valley of vision, a battering down of walls and a shouting to the mountains.
6 And Elam bore the quiver with chariots and horsemen, and Kir uncovered the shield.
7 Your choicest valleys were full of chariots, and the horsemen took their stand at the gates.
8 He has taken away the covering of Judah. In that day you looked to the weapons of the House of the Forest,
9 and you saw that the breaches of the city of David were many, and you collected the waters of the lower pool,
10 and you counted the houses of Jerusalem, and you broke down the houses to fortify the wall.
11 You made a reservoir between the two walls for the water of the old pool. But you did not look to him who did it, or have regard for him who planned it long ago.
12 In that day the Lord GOD of hosts called to weeping and mourning, to baldness and girding with sackcloth;
13 and behold, joy and gladness, slaying oxen and killing sheep, eating flesh and drinking wine. "Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die."
14 The LORD of hosts has revealed himself in my ears: "Surely this iniquity will not be forgiven you till you die," says the Lord GOD of hosts.
15 Thus says the Lord GOD of hosts, "Come, go to this steward, to Shebna, who is over the household, and say to him:
16 What have you to do here and whom have you here, that you have hewn here a tomb for yourself, you who hew a tomb on the height, and carve a habitation for yourself in the rock?
17 Behold, the LORD will hurl you away violently, O you strong man. He will seize firm hold on you,
18 and whirl you round and round, and throw you like a ball into a wide land; there you shall die, and there shall be your splendid chariots, you shame of your master's house.
19 I will thrust you from your office, and you will be cast down from your station.
20 In that day I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah,
21 and I will clothe him with your robe, and will bind your girdle on him, and will commit your authority to his hand; and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to the house of Judah.
22 And I will place on his shoulder the key of the house of David; he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open.
23 And I will fasten him like a peg in a sure place, and he will become a throne of honor to his father's house.
24 And they will hang on him the whole weight of his father's house, the offspring and issue, every small vessel, from the cups to all the flagons.
25 In that day, says the LORD of hosts, the peg that was fastened in a sure place will give way; and it will be cut down and fall, and the burden that was upon it will be cut off, for the LORD has spoken."
1 The burden H4853 of the valley H1516 of vision. H2384 What H4100 aileth thee now, H645 that H3588 thou art wholly H3605 gone up H5927 to the housetops H1406 ?
2 Thou that art full H4392 of stirs, H8663 a tumultuous H1993 city, H5892 a joyous H5947 city: H7151 thy slain H2491 men are not H3808 slain H2491 with the sword, H2719 nor H3808 dead H4191 in battle. H4421
3 All H3605 thy rulers H7101 are fled H5074 together, H3162 they are bound H631 by the archers H4480 H7198 : all H3605 that are found H4672 in thee are bound H631 together, H3162 which have fled H1272 from far H4480 H7350 .
4 Therefore H5921 H3651 said H559 I , Look away H8159 from H4480 me ; I will weep H1065 bitterly, H4843 labor H213 not H408 to comfort H5162 me, because H5921 of the spoiling H7701 of the daughter H1323 of my people. H5971
5 For H3588 it is a day H3117 of trouble, H4103 and of treading down, H4001 and of perplexity H3998 by the Lord H136 GOD H3069 of hosts H6635 in the valley H1516 of vision, H2384 breaking down H6979 the walls, H7023 and of crying H7771 to H413 the mountains. H2022
6 And Elam H5867 bore H5375 the quiver H827 with chariots H7393 of men H120 and horsemen, H6571 and Kir H7024 uncovered H6168 the shield. H4043
7 And it shall come to pass, H1961 that thy choicest H4055 valleys H6010 shall be full H4390 of chariots, H7393 and the horsemen H6571 shall set themselves in array H7896 H7896 at the gate. H8179
8 And he discovered H1540 H853 the covering H4539 of Judah, H3063 and thou didst look H5027 in that H1931 day H3117 to H413 the armor H5402 of the house H1004 of the forest. H3293
9 Ye have seen H7200 also the breaches H1233 of the city H5892 of David, H1732 that H3588 they are many: H7231 and ye gathered together H6908 H853 the waters H4325 of the lower H8481 pool. H1295
10 And ye have numbered H5608 the houses H1004 of Jerusalem, H3389 and the houses H1004 have ye broken down H5422 to fortify H1219 the wall. H2346
11 Ye made H6213 also a ditch H4724 between H996 the two walls H2346 for the water H4325 of the old H3465 pool: H1295 but ye have not H3808 looked H5027 unto H413 the maker H6213 thereof, neither H3808 had respect H7200 unto him that fashioned H3335 it long ago H4480 H7350 .
12 And in that H1931 day H3117 did the Lord H136 GOD H3069 of hosts H6635 call H7121 to weeping, H1065 and to mourning, H4553 and to baldness, H7144 and to girding H2296 with sackcloth: H8242
13 And behold H2009 joy H8342 and gladness, H8057 slaying H2026 oxen, H1241 and killing H7819 sheep, H6629 eating H398 flesh, H1320 and drinking H8354 wine: H3196 let us eat H398 and drink; H8354 for H3588 tomorrow H4279 we shall die. H4191
14 And it was revealed H1540 in mine ears H241 by the LORD H3068 of hosts, H6635 Surely H518 this H2088 iniquity H5771 shall not be purged H3722 from you till H5704 ye die, H4191 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 of hosts. H6635
15 Thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 of hosts, H6635 Go, H1980 get H935 thee unto H413 this H2088 treasurer, H5532 even unto H5921 Shebna, H7644 which H834 is over H5921 the house, H1004 and say ,
16 What H4100 hast thou here H6311 ? and whom H4310 hast thou here, H6311 that H3588 thou hast hewed thee out H2672 a sepulcher H6913 here, H6311 as he that heweth him out H2672 a sepulcher H6913 on high, H4791 and that graveth H2710 a habitation H4908 for himself in a rock H5553 ?
17 Behold H2009 , the LORD H3068 will carry thee away H2904 with a mighty H1397 captivity, H2925 and will surely cover H5844 H5844 thee.
18 He will surely violently turn H6801 H6801 and toss H6802 thee like a ball H1754 into H413 a large H7342 H3027 country: H776 there H8033 shalt thou die, H4191 and there H8033 the chariots H4818 of thy glory H3519 shall be the shame H7036 of thy lord's H113 house. H1004
19 And I will drive H1920 thee from thy station H4480 H4673 , and from thy state H4480 H4612 shall he pull thee down. H2040
20 And it shall come to pass H1961 in that H1931 day, H3117 that I will call H7121 my servant H5650 Eliakim H471 the son H1121 of Hilkiah: H2518
21 And I will clothe H3847 him with thy robe, H3801 and strengthen H2388 him with thy girdle, H73 and I will commit H5414 thy government H4475 into his hand: H3027 and he shall be H1961 a father H1 to the inhabitants H3427 of Jerusalem, H3389 and to the house H1004 of Judah. H3063
22 And the key H4668 of the house H1004 of David H1732 will I lay H5414 upon H5921 his shoulder; H7926 so he shall open, H6605 and none H369 shall shut; H5462 and he shall shut, H5462 and none H369 shall open. H6605
23 And I will fasten H8628 him as a nail H3489 in a sure H539 place; H4725 and he shall be H1961 for a glorious H3519 throne H3678 to his father's H1 house. H1004
24 And they shall hang H8518 upon H5921 him all H3605 the glory H3519 of his father's H1 house, H1004 the offspring H6631 and the issue, H6849 all H3605 vessels H3627 of small quantity, H6996 from the vessels H4480 H3627 of cups, H101 even to H5704 all H3605 the vessels H3627 of flagons. H5035
25 In that H1931 day, H3117 saith H5002 the LORD H3068 of hosts, H6635 shall the nail H3489 that is fastened H8628 in the sure H539 place H4725 be removed, H4185 and be cut down, H1438 and fall; H5307 and the burden H4853 that H834 was upon H5921 it shall be cut off: H3772 for H3588 the LORD H3068 hath spoken H1696 it .
