\c 22

\p

|
\v 1 A declaration about the valley of vision:
|
|
\q1
|
|
\p What is the reason that you all have gone up to the housetops?
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 2 A noisy city, a town full of revelry;
|
|
\q1 your dead were not killed with the sword, and they did not die in battle.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 3 All your rulers fled away together, but they were caught without a bow,
|
|
\q1 all of them were caught and captured together; they had fled from far away.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 4 Therefore I said, "Do not look at me, I will weep bitterly;
|
|
\q1 do not try to comfort me concerning the destruction of the daughter of my people."
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\p
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 5 For there is a day of tumult, treading down, and confusion for the Lord, Yahweh of hosts,
|
|
\q1 in the valley of vision, a breaking down of the walls, and people crying out to the mountains.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 6 Elam takes up the quiver, with chariots of men and horsemen,
|
|
\q1 and Kir lays the shield bare.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 7 It will come about that your choicest valleys
|
|
\q1 will be full of chariots, and the horsemen will take their positions at the gate.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 8 He took away the protection of Judah;
|
|
\q1 and you looked in that day to the weapons in the Palace of the Forest.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 9 You saw the breaches of the city of David, that they were many,
|
|
\q1 and you collected the water of the lower pool.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 10 You counted the houses of Jerusalem, and you tore down the houses to strengthen the wall.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 11 You made a reservoir between the two walls for the water of the old pool.
|
|
\q1 But you did not consider the city's maker, who had planned it long ago.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\p
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 12 The Lord, Yahweh of hosts called on that day
|
|
\q1 for weeping, for mourning, for shaved heads, and the wearing of sackcloth.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 13 But look, instead, celebration and gladness, killing cattle and slaughtering sheep,
|
|
\q1 eating meat and drinking wine; let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we will die.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 14 This was revealed in my ears by Yahweh of hosts:
|
|
\q1 "Surely this iniquity will not be forgiven you, even when you die," says the Lord, Yahweh of hosts.
|
|
\b
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\p
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 15 The Lord, Yahweh of hosts, says this, "Go to this administrator, to Shebna, who is over the house, and say,
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 16 'What do you have here, and who are you, that you have hewn out a grave?
|
|
\q1 Hewing out a grave on the heights, carving out a resting place for yourself in the rock!'"
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 17 See, Yahweh is about to throw you, a mighty man, about to throw you down; he will grasp you tightly.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 18 He will surely wind you round and round, and toss you like a ball into a vast country.
|
|
\q1 There you will die, and there your glorious chariots will be; you will be the shame of your master's house!
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 19 "I will thrust you from your office and from your station. You will be pulled down.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 20 It will come about on that day that I will call my servant Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 21 I will clothe him with your tunic and put on him your sash, and I will transfer your authority into his hand.
|
|
\q1 He will be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to the house of Judah.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 22 I will place the key of the house of David on his shoulder;
|
|
\q1 he will open, and none will shut; he will shut, and none will open.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 23 I will fasten him like a nail in a secure place,
|
|
\q1 and he will become a throne of glory to his father's house.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 24 They will hang upon him all the glory of his father's house, the offspring and descendants, every small vessel
|
|
\q1 from the cups to all the jugs.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 25 On that day—this is the declaration of Yahweh of hosts—the peg driven in a firm place will give way, break off, and fall, and the weight that was on it will be cut off—for Yahweh has spoken.
