Isaiah 22

Third Millennium Bible TMB

1 The burden of the Valley of Vision: What aileth thee now, that thou art wholly gone up to the housetops?

2 Thou that art full of stirrings, a tumultuous city, a joyous city; thy slain men are not slain with the sword, nor dead in battle.

3 All thy rulers have fled together; they are bound by the archers. All that are found in thee are bound together, who have fled from afar.

4 Therefore said I, "Look away from me; I will be bitter in weeping. Labor not to comfort me, because of the despoiling of the daughter of my people."

5 For it is a day of trouble and of treading down, and of perplexity by the Lord GOD of hosts in the Valley of Vision, breaking down the walls, and of crying to the mountains.

6 And Elam bore the quiver with chariots of men and horsemen, and Kir uncovered the shield.

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

8 And He uncovered the covering of Judah, and thou didst look in that day to the armor of the House of the Forest.

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

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

11 Ye made also a ditch between the two walls for the water of the old pool; but ye have not looked unto the Maker thereof, neither had respect unto Him that fashioned it long ago.

12 And in that day did the Lord GOD of hosts call to weeping and to mourning, and to baldness and to girding with sackcloth.

13 But behold, joy and gladness, slaying oxen and killing sheep, eating flesh and drinking wine! "Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we shall die!"

14 And it was revealed in mine ears by the LORD of hosts: "Surely this iniquity shall not be purged from you till ye die," saith the Lord GOD of hosts.

15 Thus saith the Lord GOD of hosts: "Go, get thee unto this treasurer, even unto Shebna, who is over the house, and say:

16 What hast thou here? And whom hast thou here, that thou hast hewed thee out a sepulcher here, as he that heweth him out a sepulcher on high and that carves out a habitation for himself in a rock?

17 Behold, the LORD will carry thee away with a mighty captivity, and will surely cover thee.

18 He will surely violently turn and toss thee like a ball into a large country. There shalt thou die, and there the chariots of thy glory shall be the shame of thy lord's house.

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

20 "And it shall come to pass in that day that I will call My servant 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 will I lay upon his 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 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 offspring and the issue, all vessels of small quantity, from the vessels of cups even to all the vessels of flagons.

25 In that day," saith the LORD of hosts, "shall the nail that is fastened in the sure place be removed and be cut down and fall, and the burden that was upon it shall be cut off; for the LORD hath spoken it."

GOD'S WORD Translation GW

1 This is the divine revelation about the valley of Vision. What's the matter with you? Why do all of you go up on the roofs?

2 You are a city filled with shouting, a town filled with noise and excitement. Your people weren't killed with swords. Your dead didn't die in battle.

3 All your leaders fled together and were captured without their bows and arrows. All those who were found were taken prisoner before any of them could get far away.

4 That is why I say, "Turn away from me so that I can cry bitterly. Don't try to comfort me because of the destruction brought on my people."

5 The Almighty LORD of Armies has chosen a special day. It will be a day of confusion and trampling in the valley of Vision, [a day of] tearing down walls and crying for help in the mountains.

6 Elam takes its quiver of arrows, manned chariots, and horsemen. Kir uncovers its shields.

7 Then your fertile valleys will be filled with chariots, and horsemen will stand ready in front of the gate.

8 On that day the LORD will remove the defenses of Judah. You will look for weapons in the House of the Forest.

9 You will see how many places in David's wall are broken. You will store water in the Lower Pool.

10 You will count the houses in Jerusalem. You will tear down those houses in order to fortify the walls.

11 You will build a reservoir between the two walls to hold the water of the Old Pool. You didn't look to Jerusalem's maker. You didn't see the one who formed it long ago.

12 On that day the Almighty LORD of Armies will call for crying and for mourning, for shaving your heads and for wearing sackcloth.

13 Instead, you will rejoice, celebrate, slaughter cattle, and butcher sheep. You will eat meat, drink wine, and say, "Let's eat and drink because tomorrow we're going to die."

14 The LORD of Armies revealed this to me: "Certainly, this wrong will not be forgiven even when you die," says the Almighty LORD of Armies.

15 This is what the Almighty LORD of Armies says: Go to Shebna, the man in charge of the palace, and say [to him],

16 "What are you doing here? What right do you have to dig a tomb for yourself? What right do you have to cut it out in a prominent place? What right do you have to carve out a resting place for yourself in the rock?

17 Look, mighty man! The LORD will throw you out. He will grab you.

18 He will wrap you up tightly like a turban. He will throw you far away into another land. There you will die. There your splendid chariots will remain. There you will become a disgrace to your master's household.

19 "I will remove you from your office and do away with your position.

20 When that day comes, I will call my servant Eliakim, son of Hilkiah.

21 I will dress him in your linen robe and fasten it with your belt. I will give him your authority, and he will be like a father to those who live in Jerusalem and to the nation of Judah.

22 I will place the key of the house of David around his neck. What he opens no one will shut. What he shuts no one will open.

23 I will fasten him firmly in place like a peg, and he will be a source of honor for his father's household.

24 They will hang on him the whole weight of his father's household, descendants and offspring and all the little utensils, from bowls to jars of every kind."

25 The LORD of Armies declares, "On that day the peg which I firmly fastened in place will be removed. It will be cut off and will fall, and everything hanging on it will be destroyed." The LORD has spoken.
