Yeshayah 22
22
1The massa (burden) of the Gey Chizayon (Valley of Vision). What is it to thee now, that thou art all gone up to the rooftops?
2Thou that art full of noise, a tumultuous city, exultant city; thy slain men are not slain with the cherev, nor dead in milchamah.
3All 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.
4Therefore said I, Look away from me; I will weep bitterly, labor not to comfort me, because of the shod (catastrophe) of Bat Ami.
5For 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.
6And Eilam bore the ashpah (quiver) with chariots of adam and parashim, and Kir uncovered the mogen (shield).
7And 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.
8And 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.#22:8 the Kingʼs armory
9Ye have seen also the damage of Ir Dovid, that they are many; and ye gathered together the waters of the Lower Pool.
10And ye have numbered the batim (buildings) of Yerushalayim, and the batim (houses) have ye torn down to fortify the chomah (wall).
11Ye 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.
12And in that day did Adonoi Hashem Tzva'os call to weeping, and to wailing, and to baldness, and to girding with sackcloth;
13And 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.
14And 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.
15Thus saith Adonoi Hashem Tzva'os, Go, get thee unto this sochen (steward) even unto Shevna, which is over the Bais (palace), and say,
16What 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?
17Hinei, Hashem will throw thee out, gever, and will surely seize thee.
18He 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 Adoneicha.
19And I will drive thee from thy matzav (position) and from thy position shall He pull thee down.
20And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will summon My eved Elyakim Ben Chilkiyah;
21And 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.
22And 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.
23And 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.
24And 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.
25In 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.

Isaiah 22
22
Oracle against Jerusalem
1The oracle of the valley of vision:
What business do you have going#Literally “What to you then that you have gone” up, all of you, to the roofs,
2noisy,#Literally “full of noises” tumultuous city,
exultant town?
Your slain are not slain by the sword,
nor are they dead from battle.
3All of your rulers have fled together without a bow;
all of you who were found#Literally “your found ones” were captured.
They were captured together;
they had fled far away.
4Therefore I said,
“Look away from me,
let me weep bitterly;#Literally “be bitter in weeping”
you must not insist on comforting me
for the destruction of the daughter of my people.”
5For the Lord Yahweh of hosts has a day of tumult and trampling and confusion#These three Hebrew words are alliterative: mehûmâûmeḇûsâûmeḇûḵâ in the valley of vision,
a tearing down of walls#Hebrew “wall” and a cry for help to the mountains.#Hebrew “mountain”
6And Elam lifted up the quiver,
with chariots#Hebrew “chariot” of men#Hebrew “man” and cavalry.
And Kir uncovered the shield.
7And this happened:
the choicest of your valleys were full of chariots,#Hebrew “chariot”
and the cavalry confidently stood at the gate.
8And he uncovered the covering of Judah.
And you looked, on that day, to the weapons#Hebrew “weapon” of the House of the Forest,
9and you saw that the breaches in the walls of the city of David were many,
and you gathered the waters of the lower pool.
10And you counted the houses of Jerusalem,
and you broke down the houses to fortify the wall.
11And 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.#Literally “its creator from far away”
12And the Lord, Yahweh of hosts, called on that day
for weeping and mourning,
and for baldness and girding with#Literally “of” sackcloth.
13But look! Joy and gladness,
the killing of oxen#Hebrew “ox” and the slaughtering of sheep,
the eating of meat and the drinking of wine!
“Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die!”
14And 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.
Oracle regarding Shebna
15The Lord, Yahweh of hosts, says this:
“Go! Go to this steward, to Shebna,
who is over the house:
16‘What business do you have#Literally “to you” here,
and who do you have#Literally “to you” 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?
17Look! Yahweh is about to really hurl#Literally “hurl a hurling” you, man!
And he is about to grasp you firmly;
18he will wind a winding tightly around you like a ball, to a wide land.#Literally “land broad of sides”
There you shall die,
and there the chariots of your splendor will be,
disgrace to your master’s house!
19And I will push you from your office,
and he will throw you down from your position.
20And this shall happen:
On that day I will call to my servant, Eliakim son of Hilkiah,
21and 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#Hebrew “inhabitant” of Jerusalem
and to the house of Judah.
22And 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.
23And 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.
24And 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.#Literally “vessels of the bowls to all of the vessels of the jars”
25On that day, declares#Literally “declaration of” 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.’ ”
