Isaiah 22
22
Vision of Jerusalem’s Catastrophe
1The burden of the Valley of Vision: What is the matter with you now? For you have gone up to the rooftops.
2You were full of noise, a boisterous city, an exultant town? Your dead were not slain with the sword, nor dead in battle.
3All your rulers have fled together, then captured without a bow. All who were caught were taken into exile together, though they had fled far off.
4Therefore I said, “Look away from me! Let me weep bitterly— don’t try to comfort me about the ruin of the daughter of my people.”
5For my Lord Adonai-Tzva’ot has a day of panic, trampling and confusion— in the Valley of Vision— of tearing down a wall, a catastrophe on the mountain.
6Elam took up the quiver, with chariots of men and horsemen, and Kir uncovered the shield.
7So it will come to pass that your choicest valleys will be full of chariots and horsemen posted at the gate.
8So He will expose Judah’s defense, and in that day you will look for the armor in the Forest House.
9Then you will see the breaches in the walls of the city of David—for they will be many—though you collect the water of the lower pool.
10Though you counted the houses of Jerusalem, you broke down the houses to fortify the wall.
11You even made a reservoir between the two walls for the water of the old pool—but you did not look to the Maker, or consider the One who planned it long before.
12Now in that day, Adonai Elohei-Tzva’ot will call for weeping and wailing, for baldness and putting on sackcloth.
13But instead, there is joy and gladness, slaughtering cattle and killing sheep, meat and drinking wine! “Let’s eat and drink, for tomorrow we will die!”
14But Adonai-Tzva’ot revealed in my ears: “Surely this sin will not be atoned for until you die,” says my Lord Adonai-Tzva’ot.
15Thus says my Lord Adonai-Tzva’ot: “Go, say to this steward, to Shebna, who is over the house:
16‘What are you doing here, and who are you to be here, that you cut out a grave for yourself, carving out a tomb on the height, chiseling a crypt for yourself in the rock?
17Behold, strong man, Adonai is about to hurl you headlong, and seize you firmly.
18He will roll you up tightly and toss you like a ball into a large country. There you will die, and your glorious chariots will be the shame of your Master’s house.
19I will remove you from your post, and pull you down from your station.
20“In that day I will summon my servant Eliakim, son of Hilkiah.
21I will clothe him in your robe and fasten your sash on him. I will give your authority into his hands, so he will be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to the house of Judah.
22I will set the key of the house of David upon his shoulder—what he opens, no one can shut; what he shuts, and no one can open.
23I will fasten him as a peg in a firm place, and he will be a throne of honor to his father’s house.
24They will hang all the glory of his father’s house on him—offspring and posterity, all the small vessels, from bowls to all the jars.
25“In that day,” says Adonai-Tzva’ot, “the peg that was fastened in a firm place will give way, break away and fall, and the load that was on it will be cut off.” For Adonai has spoken.

Isaiah 22
1¶ The burden of the valley of the vision. What ails thee now that thou art completely gone up to the housetops?
2Thou that art full of tumults, a tumultuous city, a joyous city, thy dead are not slain with the sword nor slain in battle.
3All thy princes together fled from the bow; they were bound; all that were found in thee were bound together; the others fled far away.
4Therefore I said, Leave me; I will weep bitterly; do not labour to comfort me of the destruction of the daughter of my people.
5For a day of trouble and of treading down and of wearing down by the Lord GOD of the hosts is sent in the valley of the vision to break down the wall and give a cry unto the mountain.
6Also Elam bore the quiver in a chariot of men and of horsemen, and Kir uncovered the shield.
7And it came to pass, that 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.
9Ye have also seen the breaches of the city of David that they are multiplied, and ye gathered together the waters of the lower pool.
10And ye have numbered the houses of Jerusalem, and ye have broken down houses to fortify the wall.
11Ye 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.
12Therefore the Lord GOD of the hosts did call in this day unto weeping and to mourning and to baldness and to girding with sackcloth:
13And behold joy and gladness, slaying oxen and killing sheep, eating flesh, and drinking wine while they say, let us eat and drink for tomorrow we shall die.
14This 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, even unto Shebna, which is over the house, and say,
16What hast thou here? or whom hast thou here that thou hast hewed thee out a sepulchre here as he that hews himself out a sepulchre on a high place or that graves a habitation for himself in a rock?
17Behold, the Lord will carry thee away in a hard captivity and will surely cover thy face.
18He 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 come to an end, the shame of the house of thy Lord.
19And I will drive thee from thy place, and he shall pull thee down from thy state.
20And it shall come to pass in that day that I will call my slave Eliakim the son of Hilkiah:
21And 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.
22And 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.
23And I will fasten him as a nail in a sure place, and he shall be for a glorious throne to his father’s house.
24And 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 from even unto all the instruments of music.
25In 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 was upon it shall be cut off: for the Lord has spoken it.
