Isaiah 22

Lexham English Bible LEB

1 [The] oracle of [the] valley of vision: {What business do you have going}<note: Literally "What to you then that you have gone"> up, all of you, to the roofs,

2 {noisy}, tumultuous city, exultant town? Your slain [are] not slain by [the] sword, nor [are they] dead from battle.

3 All of your rulers have fled together without a bow; all of {you who were found} were captured. They were captured together; they had fled far away.

4 Therefore I said, "Look away from me, let me {weep bitterly};<note: Literally "be bitter in weeping"> you must not insist on comforting me for the destruction of the daughter of my people."

5 For the Lord Yahweh of hosts has a day of tumult and trampling and confusion in [the] valley of vision, [a] tearing down of walls and a cry for help to the mountains.

6 And Elam lifted up [the] quiver, with chariots [of] men [and] cavalry. And Kir uncovered [the] shield.

7 And this happened: the choicest of your valleys were full of chariots,<note: Hebrew "chariot"> and the cavalry confidently stood at the gate.

8 And he uncovered the covering of Judah. And you looked, on that day, to the weapons of the House of the Forest,

9 and you saw that the breaches in the walls of the city of David were many, and you gathered 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 And you made a reservoir between the walls for the waters of the old pool, but you did not look to its maker, and you did not see {the one who created it long ago}.

12 And the Lord, Yahweh of hosts, called on that day for weeping and mourning, and for baldness and girding {with}<note: Literally "of"> sackcloth.

13 But look! Joy and gladness, the killing of oxen and the slaughtering of sheep, the eating of meat and the drinking of wine! "Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die!"

14 And it was revealed in my ears [by] Yahweh of hosts: "Surely this sin will not be atoned for you until you die!" says the Lord, Yahweh of hosts.

15 The Lord, Yahweh of hosts, says this: "Go! Go to this steward, to Shebna, who [is] over the house:

16 'What {business do you have} here, and who {do you have} here, that you have cut a grave cutting here for yourself, carving his grave [on] the height, a dwelling place for him in the rock?

17 Look! Yahweh [is] about to {really hurl} you, man! And he [is] about to grasp you firmly;

18 he will wind a winding tightly around you like [a] ball, to a {wide land}. There you shall die, and there the chariots of your splendor [will be], disgrace to your master's house!

19 And I will push you from your office, and he will throw you down from your position.

20 And this shall happen: On that day I will call to my servant, Eliakim son of Hilkiah,

21 and I will clothe him [with] your tunic, and I will bind your sash firmly about him, and I will put your authority into his hand, and he shall be like 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 his shoulder, and he shall open and no one [will be able to] shut; and he shall shut and no one [will be able to] open.

23 And I will drive him in [like] a peg into a secure place, and he will become like a throne of glory to the house of his father.

24 And they will hang all of the heaviness of his father's house on him, the offspring and the offshoot, all of the small vessels, from the {bowls to the jars}.

25 On that day, {declares} Yahweh of hosts, the peg that was driven will move away into a secure place, and it will be cut down and fall, and the load that [was] on her will be cut off. For Yahweh has spoken.'"

New International Version NIV

1 A prophecy against the Valley of Vision: What troubles you now, that you have all gone up on the roofs,

2 you town so full of commotion, you city of tumult and revelry? Your slain were not killed by the sword, nor did they die in battle.

3 All your leaders have fled together; they have been captured without using the bow. All you who were caught were taken prisoner together, having fled while the enemy was still far away.

4 Therefore I said, “Turn away from me; let me weep bitterly. Do not try to console me over the destruction of my people.”

5 The Lord, the LORD Almighty, has a day of tumult and trampling and terror in the Valley of Vision, a day of battering down walls and of crying out to the mountains.

6 Elam takes up the quiver, with her charioteers and horses; Kir uncovers the shield.

7 Your choicest valleys are full of chariots, and horsemen are posted at the city gates.

8 The Lord stripped away the defenses of Judah, and you looked in that day to the weapons in the Palace of the Forest.

9 You saw that the walls of the City of David were broken through in many places; you stored up water in the Lower Pool.

10 You counted the buildings in Jerusalem and tore down houses to strengthen the wall.

11 You built a reservoir between the two walls for the water of the Old Pool, but you did not look to the One who made it, or have regard for the One who planned it long ago.

12 The Lord, the LORD Almighty, called you on that day to weep and to wail, to tear out your hair and put on sackcloth.

13 But see, there is joy and revelry, slaughtering of cattle and killing of sheep, eating of meat and drinking of wine! “Let us eat and drink,” you say, “for tomorrow we die!”

14 The LORD Almighty has revealed this in my hearing: “Till your dying day this sin will not be atoned for,” says the Lord, the LORD Almighty.

15 This is what the Lord, the LORD Almighty, says: “Go, say to this steward, to Shebna the palace administrator:

16 What are you doing here and who gave you permission to cut out a grave for yourself here, hewing your grave on the height and chiseling your resting place in the rock?

17 “Beware, the LORD is about to take firm hold of you and hurl you away, you mighty man.

18 He will roll you up tightly like a ball and throw you into a large country. There you will die and there the chariots you were so proud of will become a disgrace to your master’s house.

19 I will depose you from your office, and you will be ousted from your position.

20 “In that day I will summon my servant, Eliakim son of Hilkiah.

21 I will clothe him with your robe and fasten your sash around him and hand your authority over to him. He will be a father to those who live in Jerusalem and to the people of Judah.

22 I will place on his shoulder the key to the house of David; what he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open.

23 I will drive him like a peg into a firm place; he will become a seat of honor for the house of his father.

24 All the glory of his family will hang on him: its offspring and offshoots—all its lesser vessels, from the bowls to all the jars.

25 “In that day,” declares the LORD Almighty, “the peg driven into the firm place will give way; it will be sheared off and will fall, and the load hanging on it will be cut down.” The LORD has spoken.
