Isaiah 22

The Bible in Basic English BBE

1 The word about the valley of vision. Why have all your people gone up to the house-tops?

2 You, who are full of loud voices, a town of outcries, given up to joy; your dead men have not been put to the sword, or come to their death in war.

3 All your rulers ... have gone in flight; all your strong ones have gone far away.

4 For this cause I have said, Let your eyes be turned away from me in my bitter weeping; I will not be comforted for the wasting of the daughter of my people.

5 For it is a day of trouble and of crushing down and of destruction from the Lord, the Lord of armies, in the valley of vision; ...

6 And Elam was armed with arrows, and Aram came on horseback; and the breastplate of Kir was uncovered.

7 And your most fertile valleys were full of war-carriages, and the horsemen took up their positions in front of the town.

8 He took away the cover of Judah; and in that day you were looking with care at the store of arms in the house of the woods.

9 And you saw all the broken places in the wall of the town of David: and you got together the waters of the lower pool.

10 And you had the houses of Jerusalem numbered, pulling down the houses to make the wall stronger.

11 And you made a place between the two walls for storing the waters of the old pool: but you gave no thought to him who had done this, and were not looking to him by whom it had been purposed long before.

12 And in that day the Lord, the Lord of armies, was looking for weeping, and cries of sorrow, cutting off of the hair, and putting on the clothing of grief:

13 But in place of these there was joy and delight, oxen and sheep were being made ready for food, there was feasting and drinking: men said, Now is the time for food and wine, for tomorrow death comes.

14 And the Lord of armies said to me secretly, Truly, this sin will not be taken from you till your death, says the Lord, the Lord of armies.

15 The Lord, the Lord of armies, says, Go to this person in authority, this Shebna, who is over the house; who has made himself a resting-place on high, cutting out a place for himself in the rock, and say,

16 Who are you, and by what right have you made for yourself a resting-place here?

17 See, O strong man, the Lord will send you violently away, gripping you with force,

18 Twisting you round and round like a ball he will send you out into a wide country: there you will come to your end, and there will be the carriages of your pride, O shame of your lord's house!

19 And I will have you forced out of your place of authority, and pulled down from your position.

20 And in that day I will send for my servant, Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah:

21 And I will put your robe on him, and put your band about him, and I will give your authority into his hand: and he will be a father to the men of Jerusalem, and to the family of Judah.

22 And I will give the key of the family of David into his care; and what he keeps open will be shut by no one, and what he keeps shut no one will make open.

23 And I will put him like a nail in a safe place; and he will be for a seat of glory to his father's family.

24 And all the glory of his father's family will be hanging on him, all their offspring, every small vessel, even the cups and the basins.

25 In that day, says the Lord of armies, will the nail fixed in a safe place give way; and it will be cut down, and in its fall the weight hanging on it will be cut off, for the Lord has said it.

1 2 The massa (burden) of the Gey Chizayon (Valley of Vision). What is it to thee now, that thou art all gone up to the rooftops?

2 Thou that art full of noise, a tumultuous city, exultant city; thy slain men are not slain with the cherev, nor dead in milchamah.

3 All thy rulers are fled together, they are captured by the keshet (bow); all that are found in thee are captured together, which have fled far away.

4 Therefore said I, Look away from me; I will weep bitterly, labor not to comfort me, because of the shod (catastrophe) of Bat Ami.

5 For it is a day of tumult, and of treading down, and of confusion by Adonoi Hashem Tzva’os in the Gey Chizayon (valley of vision), battering down the walls, and of crying to the har.

6 And Elam bore the ashpah (quiver) with chariots of adam and parashim, and Kir uncovered the mogen (shield).

7 And it shall come to pass, that thy choicest valleys shall be full of chariots, and the parashim shall set themselves in array at the sha’ar.

8 And He removed the masakh Yehudah (covering of Yehudah, defense, protection) and thou didst look in that day to the armor of the bais of the forest [the King’s armory].

9 Ye have seen also the damage of Ir Dovid, that they are many; and ye gathered together the waters of the Lower Pool.

10 And ye have numbered the batim (buildings) of Yerushalayim, and the batim (houses) have ye torn down to fortify the chomah (wall).

11 Ye made also a mikveh (reservoir) between the two walls for the mayim of the Old Pool; but ye have not looked unto the Maker thereof, neither had respect unto her Yotzer from long ago.

12 And in that day did Adonoi Hashem Tzva’os call to weeping, and to wailing, and to baldness, and to girding with sackcloth;

13 And hinei sasson and simchah, slaughter of bakar and ritual slaughter of tzon, eating basar, and drinking yayin; let us eat and drink; for makhar we shall die.

14 And it was revealed in mine oznayim by Hashem Tzva’os, Till ye die for this avon there will be no kapporah, saith Adonoi Hashem Tzva’os.

15 Thus saith Adonoi Hashem Tzva’os, Go, get thee unto this sochen (steward) even unto Shevna, which is over the Bais (palace), and say,

16 What hast thou here? And whom hast thou here, that thou hast hewed thee out a kever here, as he that heweth him out a kever on high, and that carveth a mishkan for himself in the rock?

17 Hinei, Hashem will throw thee out, gever, and will surely seize thee.

18 He will surely violently turn and toss thee like a kadoor (ball) into a wide country; there shalt thou die, and there the merkevot (chariots) of thy kavod shall be the disgrace of the Bais Adonecha.

19 And I will drive thee from thy matzav (position) and from thy position shall He pull thee down.

20 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will summon My eved Elyakim Ben Chilkiyah;

21 And I will clothe him with thy kesones, and strengthen him with thy avnet (sash) and I will commit thy memshelet (authority) into his yad; and he shall be an av to the inhabitants of Yerushalayim, and to the Bais Yehudah.

22 And the mafte’ach Bais Dovid (key of the House of Dovid) will I lay upon his shekhem (shoulder); so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open.

23 And I will fasten him as a yated (peg) in a makom ne’eman (firm place); and he shall be for a kisse kavod to the Bais Aviv.

24 And they shall hang upon him kol kavod Bais Aviv, the offspring and the issue, all vessels of small quantity, from the vessels of bowls, even to all that of large vessels.

25 In that day, saith Hashem Tzva’os, shall the yated (peg) that is fastened in the makom ne’eman give away, and be cut down, and fall; and the massa (burden) that was upon it shall be [violently] cut off; for Hashem hath spoken.
