Isaiah 22

Jubilee Bible 2000 JUB

1 The burden of the valley of the vision. What ails thee now that thou art completely gone up to the housetops?

2 Thou that art full of tumults, a tumultuous city, a joyous city, thy dead <em>are</em> not slain with the sword nor slain in battle.

3 All thy princes together fled from the bow; they were bound; all that were found in thee were bound together; <em>the others</em> fled far away.

4 Therefore I said, Leave me; I will weep bitterly; do not labour to comfort me of the destruction of the daughter of my people.

5 For a day of trouble and of treading down and of wearing down by the Lord GOD of the hosts <em>is sent</em> in the valley of the vision to break down the wall and <em>give a</em> cry unto the mountain.

6 Also Elam bore the quiver in <em>a</em> chariot of men and of horsemen, and Kir uncovered the shield.

7 And it came to pass, <em>that</em> thy choicest valleys were full of chariots, and the soldiers set themselves in array at the gate.

8 And he discovered the covering of Judah, and thou didst look in that day to the house of weapons of the forest.

9 Ye have also seen the breaches of the city of David that they are multiplied, and ye gathered together the waters of the lower pool.

10 And ye have numbered the houses of Jerusalem, and ye have broken down houses to fortify the wall.

11 Ye also made a moat between the two walls with the water of the old pool, but ye have not looked unto the maker thereof, nor had respect unto him that fashioned it long ago.

12 Therefore the Lord GOD of the hosts did call in this day unto weeping and to mourning and to baldness and to girding with sackcloth:

13 And behold joy and gladness, slaying oxen and killing sheep, eating flesh, and drinking wine <em>while they say</em>, let us eat and drink for tomorrow we shall die.

14 This was revealed in my ears by the LORD of the hosts, That surely this iniquity shall not be purged from you until ye die, saith the Lord GOD of the hosts.

15 Thus saith the Lord GOD of the hosts, Go, get thee unto this treasurer, <em>even</em> unto Shebna, which <em>is</em> over the house, <em>and say</em>,

16 What hast thou here? or whom hast thou here that thou hast hewed thee out a sepulchre here <em>as</em> he that hews himself out a sepulchre on a high place or that graves a habitation for himself in a rock?

17 Behold, the LORD will carry thee away in a hard captivity and will surely cover thy face.

18 He will surely violently turn and toss thee <em>like</em> a ball into a large country, there shalt thou die, and there the chariots of thy glory <em>shall come to an end</em>, the shame of the house of thy Lord.

19 And I will drive thee from thy place, and he shall pull thee down from thy state.

20 And it shall come to pass in that day that I will call my slave Eliakim the son of Hilkiah:

21 And I will clothe him with thy robe and strengthen him with thy girdle, 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 the key of the house of David I will lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open, and no one shall shut; and he shall shut, and no one shall open.

23 And I will fasten him <em>as</em> a nail in a sure place, and he shall be for a glorious throne to his father’s house.

24 And they shall hang upon him all the glory of his father’s house, the sons and the grandsons, all the vessels of small quantity, from the cups to drink <em>from</em> even unto all the instruments of music.

25 In that day, saith the LORD of the hosts, the nail that is fastened in the sure place shall be removed and be cut down and fall and the burden that <em>was</em> upon it shall be cut off: for the LORD has spoken <em>it</em>.

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.
