Chapter 22
The ^2 burden of the valley of vision.
[Footnote 2: Or, oracle concerning]
What aileth thee now, that thou art wholly gone up to the housetops? O
thou that art full of shoutings, a tumultuous city, a joyous town; thy slain
are not slain with the sword, neither are they dead in battle. All thy rulers
fled away together, they were bound ^3 by the archers; all that were found of
thee were bound together; ^4 they fled afar off. Therefore said I, Look away
from me, I will weep bitterly; ^5 labor not to comfort me for the destruction
of the daughter of my people.
[Footnote 3: Or, without the bow]
[Footnote 4: Or, that had fled from far]
[Footnote 5: Or, hasten]
For it is a day of discomfiture, and of treading down, and of perplexity,
from the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, in the valley of vision; a breaking down of
the walls, and a crying to the ^6 mountains. And Elam bare the quiver, with
^7 chariots of men and horsemen; and Kir uncovered the shield. And it came to
pass, that thy choicest valleys were full of chariots, and the horsemen set
themselves in array at the gate. And he took away the covering of Judah; and
thou didst look in that day to the armor in the house of the forest. And ye
saw the breaches of the city of David, that they were many; and ye gathered
together the waters of the lower pool; ^10 and ye numbered the houses of
Jerusalem, and ye brake down the houses of Jerusalem, and ye brake down the
houses to fortify the wall; ye made also a reservoir between the two walls for
the water of the old pool. But ye looked not unto ^8 him that had done this,
neither had ye respect unto him that purposed it long ago.
[Footnote 6: Or, mountain]
[Footnote 7: Or, troops]
[Footnote 8: Or, the maker thereof]
And in that day did the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, call to weeping, and to
mourning, and to baldness, and to girding with sackcloth: and, behold, joy
and gladness, slaying oxen and killing sheep, eating flesh and drinking wine:
Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we shall die. And Jehovah of hosts
revealed himself in mine ears, Surely this iniquity shall not be ^9 forgiven
you till ye die, saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts.
[Footnote 9: Or, expiated by]
Thus saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, Go, get thee unto this ^10
treasurer, even unto Shebna, who is over the house, and say, What doest thou
here? and whom hast thou here, that thou hast hewed thee out here a
sepulchre? hewing him out a sepulchre on high, graving a habitation for
himself in the rock! Behold, Jehovah, ^11 like a strong man, will hurl thee
away violently; yea, he will ^12 wrap thee up closely. He will surely wind
thee round and round, and toss thee like a ball into a large country; there
shalt thou die, and there shall be the chariots of thy glory, thou shame of
thy lord's house. And I will thrust thee from thine office; and from thy
station shalt thou be pulled down. And it shall come to pass in that day,
that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah: 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. And the key of the house of David will
I lay upon his shoulder; and he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall
shut, and none shall open. And I will fasten him as a nail in a sure place;
and he shall be for a throne of glory to his father's house. And they shall
hang upon him all the glory of his father's house, the offspring and the
issue, every small vessel, from the cups even to all the flagons. In that
day, saith Jehovah of hosts, shall the nail that was fastened in a sure place
give way; and it shall be hewn down, and fall; and the burden that was upon it
shall be cut off; for Jehovah hath spoken it.
[Footnote 10: Or, steward]
[Footnote 11: Or, O thou strong man]
[Footnote 12: Or, lay fast hold on thee]
