1 The burden of the valley of vision. What aileth thee now, that thou art wholly gone up to the house tops? 2 Thou that art full of stirs, a tumultuous city, a joyous city: thy slain men are not slain with the sword, not dead in battle. 3 All thy rulers are fled together, they are bound by the archers: all that are found in thee are bound together, which have fled from afar. 4 Therefore said I, Look away from me; I will weep bitterly, labour not to comfort me, because of the spoiling of the daughter of my people. 5 For it is a day of trouble, and of treading down, and of perplexity by the Lord GOD of hosts in the valley of vision, breaking down walls, and of crying to the mountains. 6 And Elam bare quiver with chariots of men and horsemen, and Kir uncovered the shield. 7 And it shall come to pass, that thy choicest valleys shall be full of chariots, and the horsemen shall set themselves in array at the gate. 8 And he discovered the covering of Judah, and thou didst look in that day to the armour of the house of the forest. 9 Ye have seen also the breaches of the city of David, that they are many: and ye gathered together the waters of the lower pool. 10 And ye have numbered the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses have ye broken down to fortify the wall. 11 Ye made also a ditch between the two walls for the water of the old pool: but ye have not looked unto the maker thereof, neither had respect unto Him that fashioned it long ago. 12 And in that day did the Lord GOD of hosts call to weeping, and mourning, and to baldness, and to girding with sackcloth: 13 And behold joy and gladness, slashing of oxen, and killing of sheep, eating flesh, and drinking wine: let us eat and drink; for to morrow we shall die. 14 And it revealed in mine ears by the LORD of hosts, Surely this iniquity shall be purged from you till ye die, saith Lord GOD of hosts. 15 Thus saith the Lord GOD of hosts, Go, get thee the treasurer, even unto Shebna, which is over the house, and say, 16 What thou hast here? and whom hast thou here, that thou has hewed thee out a sepulchre here, as He that hewth him out a sepulchre on high, and that graveth an habitation for himself in a rock? 17 Behold, the LORD will carry thee away with a mighty captivity, and will surely cover thee. 18 He 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 be the shame of thy lords house. 19 And I will drive thee from thy station, and from thy state shall be pull thee down. 20 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah: 21 And I will clothe him with thyv 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. 22 And the key of the house of David will I lay upon His shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open. 23 And I will fasten him as a nail in a sure place; and he shall be for a glorious throne to his fathers house. 24 And they shall hang upon him all the glory of his fathers house, the offspring and the issue, all vessels of small quantity, from the vessels of cups, even to all the vessels of flagons. 25 In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, shall the nail that fastened in the sure place be removed, and be cut down, and fall; and the burden that was upon it shall be cut off: for the LORD hath spoken it - - - Isaiah 22 KJV
