Isaiah 22 📜 📕 ↷
Valley of Vision
1 THE burden of the vale of vision. What aileth thee, that thou art also wholly gone up into the house tops?📜💬📚
2 full of clamour, a populous city, rejoicing: thy slain are not slain by the sword, nor dead in battle.📜💬📚
3 All thy Princes are fled together, and are bound hard: all that were found, are bound together, they are fled far off.📜💬📚
4 Therefore have I said: Depart from me, I will weep bitterly: labour not to comfort me, for the destruction of the daughter of my people.📜💬📚
5 For it is a day of slaughter, and conculcation, and weepings to our Lord the God of hosts, in the vale of visitation, searching the wall, and magnifical upon the mountain.📜💬📚
6 And Aelam took quiver, chariot of the horseman, and the shield hath made the wall naked.📜💬📚
7 And thy principal valleys shall be full of chariots, and the horsemen shall place themselves in the gate.📜💬📚
8 And the covering of Juda shall be discovered, and thou shalt see in that day the armoury of the house of the forest.📜💬📚
9 And you shall see the breaches of the city of David, because they are multiplied: and you have gathered together the waters of the lower pool,📜💬📚
10 and have numbered the houses of Jerusalem, and destroyed houses to fortify the wall.📜💬📚
11 And you have made a lake between the two walls to the water of the old pool: & you looked not up to him that made it, and the worker thereof long before you saw not.📜💬📚
12 And our Lord the God of hosts shall call in that day to weeping, and to mourning, to baldness, and to girdle of sackcloth:📜💬📚
13 and behold joy and gladness, to kill calves, and to slay rams, to eat flesh, and to drink wine: Let us eat and drink: for to morrow we shall die.📜💬📚
14 And the voice of the Lord of hosts was revealed in mine ears: If this iniquity shall be forgiven you until you die, saith our Lord the God of hosts.📜💬📚
A Message for Shebna
15 Thus saith our Lord the God of hosts: Go, get thee in to him, that dwelleth in the tabernacle, to Sobna the provost of the temple, and thou shalt say to him:📜💬📚
16 What doest thou here, or as if thou were some body here? Because thou hast cut thee out a sepulchre here, thou hast cut out a memorial diligently in an high place, a tabernacle for thee in a rock.📜💬📚
17 Behold our Lord will cause thee to be carried away, as a cock is carried, and he will lift thee up as a garment.📜💬📚
18 Crowning he will crown thee with tribulation, he will cast thee as a ball into a broad and large country: there shalt thou die, and there shall the chariot of thy glory be, the ignominy of the house of thy Lord.📜💬📚
19 And I will expel thee from thy standing, and depose thee from thy ministry.📜💬📚
20 And it shall be in that day: I will call my servant Eliacim the son of Helcias,📜💬📚
21 and will clothe him with thy coat, and will strengthen him with thy girdle, and will give thy power into his hand: and he shall be as a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, & to the house of Juda.📜💬📚
22 And I will give the key of the house of David upon his shoulder: and he shall open, and there shall be none to shut: and he shall shut, and there shall be none to open.📜💬📚
23 And I will fasten him as a pin in a sure place, and he shall be for a throne of glory to the house of his father.📜💬📚
24 And they shall hang upon him all the glory of his father's house, diverse kinds of vessels, every little vessel, from vessels of cups even to every instrument of music.📜💬📚
25 In that day saith the Lord of hosts, shall the pin be taken away, that was fastened in the sure place: and that which hung thereon, shall be broken, and fall, and perish, because our Lord hath spoken.📜💬📚
