Isaiah 22

1The burdenH4853 of the valleyH1516 of visionH2384. WhatH4100 aileth thee nowH3588, that thou art whollyH3605 goneH5927 upH5927 to the housetopsH1406? 2O thou that art fullH4395 of shoutingsH8663, a tumultuous cityH5892, a joyous townH7151; thy slainH2491 are notH3808 slainH2491 with the swordH2719, neitherH3808 are they deadH4191 in battleH4421. 3AllH3605 thy rulersH7101 fledH1272 awayH1272 togetherH3162, they were boundH631 by the archersH7198: allH3605 that were foundH4672 of thee were boundH631 togetherH3162, they fledH1272 afarH7350 offH7350. 4Therefore saidH559 I, LookH8159 awayH4480 from meH5921, I will weepH1065 bitterlyH4843; labour notH408 to comfortH5162 meH5921, for the spoiling of the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971. 5For it is a dayH3117 of discomfiture, and of treading downH3588, and of perplexity, from the LordH136, the LORDH136 of hostsH6635, in the valleyH1516 of visionH2384; a breaking downH3588 of the wallsH7023, and a crying to the mountainsH2022. 6And ElamH5867 bareH6168 the quiverH827, with chariotsH7393 of menH120 and horsemenH6571; and KirH7024 uncoveredH6168 the shieldH4043. 7And it cameH1961 to passH1961, that thy choicestH4005 valleysH6010 were fullH4390 of chariotsH7393, and the horsemenH6571 setH7896 themselvesH4390 in array at the gateH8179. 8And he tookH853 awayH1540 the coveringH4539 of JudahH3063; and thou didst lookH5027 in that dayH3117 to the armour in the houseH1004 of the forestH3293. 9And ye sawH7200 the breachesH1233 of the cityH5892 of DavidH1732, that they were manyH7235: and ye gatheredH6908 togetherH6908 the watersH4325 of the lowerH8481 poolH1295. 10and ye numberedH5608 the housesH1004 of JerusalemH3389, and ye brake downH5422 the housesH1004 to fortifyH1219 the wallH2346. 11ye madeH6213 also a reservoirH4724 betweenH996 the twoH2346 wallsH2346 for the waterH4325 of the oldH3465 poolH1295: but ye lookedH7200 notH3808 unto him that had doneH6213 this, neitherH3808 had ye respect unto him that fashionedH3335 it longH7350 agoH7350. 12And in that dayH3117 didH3117 the LordH136, the LORDH136 of hostsH6635, callH7121 to weepingH1065, and to mourningH4553, and to baldnessH7144, and to girding with sackclothH8242: 13and beholdH2009, joyH8057 and gladnessH8057, slaying oxenH1241 and killingH2026 sheepH6629, eatingH398 fleshH1320 and drinkingH8354 wineH3196: let usH3588 eatH398 and drinkH8354, for tomorrowH4279 weH3588 shall dieH4191. 14And the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 revealedH1540 himselfH1540 in mine earsH241, SurelyH4191 this iniquityH5771 shall notH2088 be purged from youH518 tillH5704 ye dieH4191, saith the LordH3068, the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635. 15ThusH3541 saith the LordH136, the LORDH136 of hostsH6635, GoH935, getH935 thee unto this treasurer, evenH5532 unto ShebnaH7644, whichH834 is over the houseH1004, and sayH559, 16WhatH4100 doest thou hereH6311? and whomH4310 hast thou hereH6311, that thou hast hewedH2672 thee outH4100 hereH6311 a sepulchre? hewing him outH4100 a sepulchre on highH4791, graving an habitation for himself in the rockH5553! 17BeholdH2009, the LORDH3068 will hurlH2904 thee away violently as a strong manH1397; yea, he will wrap thee up closely. 18He will surelyH4191 turn and toss thee like a ballH1754 intoH413 a largeH1004 countryH776; there shalt thou dieH4191, and there shall be the chariotsH4818 of thy gloryH3519, thou shameH7036 of thy lord’sH113 houseH1004. 19And I will thrustH1920 thee from thine officeH4612, and from thy stationH4612 shall he pullH2040 thee downH2040. 20And it shall comeH1961 to passH1961 in that dayH3117, that I will callH7121 my servantH5650 EliakimH471 the sonH1121 of HilkiahH2518: 21and I will clotheH3847 him with thy robeH3801, and strengthenH2388 him with thy girdle, and I will commitH5414 thy government intoH3027 his handH3027: and he shall be a fatherH1 to the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, and to the houseH1004 of JudahH3063. 22And the keyH4668 of the houseH1004 of DavidH1732 will I layH5414 uponH5921 his shoulderH7926; and he shall openH6605, and noneH369 shall shutH5462; and he shall shutH5462, and noneH369 shall openH6605. 23And I will fastenH8628 him as a nail in a sureH539 placeH4725; and he shall be for a throneH3678 of gloryH3519 to his father’sH1 houseH1004. 24And they shall hangH8518 uponH5921 him allH3605 the gloryH3519 of his father’sH1 houseH1004, the offspringH6631 and the issueH6849, everyH3605 smallH6996 vesselH3627, from the vesselsH3627 of cups evenH5704 to allH3605 the vesselsH3627 of flagons. 25In that dayH3117, saith the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, shall the nail that was fastenedH8628 in a sureH539 placeH4725 giveH4185 wayH5921; and it shall be hewn downH5307, and fallH5307, and the burdenH4853 that was uponH5921 it shall be cutH3772 offH3772; for the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696 it.
