  22:1 ¶
THE WORD OF THE VALLEY OF ZION{gr.SION}. What has happened to thee, that now ye are all gone up to the housetops which help you not? |
|
22:1 ¶
The burdenº
of the valleyº
of vision.º
Whatº
aileth thee now,º
thatº
thou art whollyº
gone upºº
to the housetops?º |
|
22:2
The city is filled with shouting [men]: thy slain are not slain with swords, nor are thy dead those who have died in battle. |
22:2
Thou that art fullº
of stirs,º
a tumultuousºº
city,º
a joyousº
city:º
thy slainº
[men are] notº
slainº
with the sword,º
norº
deadºº
in battle.º |
|
22:3
All thy princes have fled, and [thy] captives are tightly bound, and the mighty [men] in thee have fled far away. |
22:3
Allº
thy rulersº
are fledºº
together,º
they are boundºº
by the archers:ºº
allº
that are foundºº
in thee are boundºº
together,º
[which] have fledºº
from far.ºº |
|
22:4
Therefore I said, Let me alone, I will weep bitterly; labour not to comfort me for the breach of the daughter of my people. |
22:4
Thereforeºº
saidºº
I, Look awayºº
fromº
me; I will weepº
bitterly,ºº
labourºº
notº
to comfortºº
me, becauseº
of the spoilingº
of the daughterº
of my people.º |
|
22:5
For [it is] a day of trouble, and of destruction, and of treading down, and [there is] perplexity [sent] from the Lord of hosts: they wander in the valley of Zion{gr.Sion}; they wander from the least to the greatest on the mountains. |
22:5
Forº
[it is] a dayº
of trouble,º
and of treading down,º
and of perplexityº
by Adonaiº
Yahwehº
Sabaothº
in the valleyº
of vision,º
breakingºº
downº
the walls,º
and of cryingº
toº
the mountains.º |
|
22:6
And the Elamites took [their] quivers, and [there were] men mounted on horses, and [there was] a gathering for battle. |
22:6
And Elamº
bareºº
the quiverº
with chariotsº
of menº
[and] horsemen,º
and Kirº
uncoveredºº
the shield.º |
|
22:7
And it shall be [that] thy choice valleys shall be filled with chariots, and horsemen shall block up thy gates. |
22:7
And it shall come to pass,º
[that] thy choicestºº
valleysº
shall be fullºº
of chariots,º
and the horsemenº
shall setºº
themselves in arrayºº
at the gate.º |
|
22:8 ¶
And they shall uncover the gates of Judah{gr.Juda}, and they shall look in that day on the choice houses of the city. |
22:8 ¶
And he discoveredººº
the coveringº
of Judah,º
and thou didst lookºº
in thatº
dayº
toº
the armourº
of the houseº
of the forest.º |
|
22:9
And they shall uncover the secret places of the houses of the citadel of David: and they saw that they were many, and that one [had] turned the water of the old pool into the city; |
22:9
Ye have seenºº
also the breachesº
of the cityº
of David,º
thatº
they are many:ºº
and ye gathered togetherººº
the watersº
of the lowerº
pool.º |
|
22:10
and that they [had] pulled down the houses of Jerusalem, to fortify the wall of the city. |
22:10
And ye have numberedºº
the housesº
of Jerusalem,º
and the housesº
have ye broken downºº
to fortifyºº
the wall.º |
|
22:11
And ye procured to yourselves water between the two walls within the ancient pool: but ye looked not to him that made it from the beginning, and regarded not him that created it. |
22:11
Ye madeºº
also a ditchº
betweenº
the two wallsº
for the waterº
of the oldº
pool:º
but ye have notº
lookedºº
untoº
the makerºº
thereof, neitherº
had respectºº
unto him that fashionedºº
it long ago.ºº |
|
22:12
And the Lord, the Lord of hosts, called in that day for weeping, and lamentation, and baldness, and for girding with sackcloth: |
22:12
And in thatº
dayº
did Adonaiº
Yahwehº
Sabaothº
callºº
to weeping,º
and to mourning,º
and to baldness,º
and to girdingºº
with sackcloth:º |
|
22:13
but they engaged in joy and gladness, slaying calves, and killing sheep, so as to eat flesh, and drink wine; saying, Let us eat and drink; for to-morrow we die. |
22:13
And beholdº
joyº
and gladness,º
slayingºº
oxen,º
and killingºº
sheep,º
eatingºº
flesh,º
and drinkingºº
wine:º
let us eatºº
and drink;ºº
forº
to morrowº
we shall die.ºº |
|
22:14
And these things are revealed in the ears of the Lord of hosts: for this sin shall not be forgiven you, until ye die. |
22:14
And it was revealedºº
in mine earsº
by Yahwehº
Sabaoth,º
Surelyº
thisº
iniquityº
shall not be purgedºº
from you tillº
ye die,ºº
saithºº
Adonaiº
Yahwehº
Sabaoth.º |
|
22:15 ¶
Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Go into the chamber, to Shebna{gr.Somnas} the treasurer, and say to him, Why art thou here? |
22:15 ¶
Thusº
saithºº
Adonaiº
Yahwehº
Sabaoth,º
Go,ººº
getºº
thee untoº
thisº
treasurer,ºº
[even] untoº
Shebna,º
whichº
[is] overº
the house,º
[and say], |
|
22:16
and what hast thou to do here, that thou hast here hewn thyself a sepulchre, and madest thyself a sepulchre on high, and hast graven for thyself a dwelling in the rock? |
22:16
Whatº
hast thou here?º
and whomº
hast thou here,º
thatº
thou hast hewed thee outºº
a sepulchreº
here,º
[as] he that heweth him outºº
a sepulchreº
on high,º
[and] that gravethºº
an habitationº
for himself in a rock?º |
|
22:17
Behold now, the Lord of hosts casts forth and will utterly destroy [such] a man, and will take away thy robe and thy glorious crown, |
22:17
Behold,º
Yahwehº
will carry thee awayºº
with a mightyº
captivity,º
and will surelyºº
coverºº
thee. |
|
22:18
and will cast thee into a great and unmeasured land, and there thou shalt die: and he will bring thy fair chariot to shame, and the house of thy prince to be trodden down. |
22:18
He will surelyºº
violently turnºº
and tossº
thee [like] a ballº
intoº
a largeºº
country:º
thereº
shalt thou die,ºº
and thereº
the chariotsº
of thy gloryº
[shall be] the shameº
of thy adon'sº
house.º |
|
22:19
And thou shalt be removed from thy stewardship, and from thy place. |
22:19
And I will driveºº
thee from thy station,ºº
and from thy stateºº
shall he pull thee down.ºº |
|
22:20 ¶
And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah{gr.Chelcias}: |
22:20 ¶
And it shall come to passº
in thatº
day,º
that I will callºº
my servantº
Eliakimº
the sonº
of Hilkiah:º |
|
22:21
and I will put on him thy robe, and I will grant him thy crown with power, and I will give thy stewardship into his hands: and he shall be as a father to them that dwell in Jerusalem, and to them that dwell in Judah{gr.Juda}. |
22:21
And I will clotheºº
him with thy robe,º
and strengthenºº
him with thy girdle,º
and I will commitºº
thy governmentº
into his hand:º
and he shall beº
a fatherº
to the inhabitantsºº
of Jerusalem,º
and to the houseº
of Judah.º |
|
22:22
And I will give him the glory of David; and he shall rule, and there shall be none to speak against him: and I will give him 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. |
22:22
And the keyº
of the houseº
of Davidº
will I layºº
uponº
his shoulder;º
so he shall open,ºº
and noneº
shall shut;ºº
and he shall shut,ºº
and noneº
shall open.ºº |
|
22:23
And I will make him a ruler in a sure place, and he shall be for a glorious throne of his father's house. |
22:23
And I will fastenºº
him [as] a nailº
in a sureºº
place;º
and he shall beº
for a gloriousº
throneº
to his father'sº
house.º |
|
22:24
And every one that is glorious in the house of his father shall trust in him, from the least to the greatest; and they shall depend upon him in that day. |
22:24
And they shall hangºº
uponº
him allº
the gloryº
of his father'sº
house,º
the offspringº
and the issue,º
allº
vesselsº
of smallº
quantity,º
from the vesselsºº
of cups,º
even toº
allº
the vesselsº
of flagons.º |
|
22:25
Thus saith the Lord of hosts, The man that is fastened in the sure place shall be removed and be taken away, and shall fall; and the glory that is upon him shall be utterly destroyed: for the Lord has spoken it. |
22:25
In thatº
day,º
saithºº
Yahwehº
Sabaoth,º
shall the nailº
that is fastenedºº
in the sureºº
placeº
be removed,ºº
and be cut down,ºº
and fall;ºº
and the burdenº
thatº
[was] uponº
it shall be cut off:ºº
forº
Yahwehº
hath spokenºº
[it]. |
