22 Oracle on the Valley of Vision
What mean you that you are gone up,
one and all, to the house-tops,
2 O town filled with uproar and tumult,
O city exultant?
your slain are not slain with sword,
neither fallen in battle.
3 Your chieftains are all fled together
who wielded the bow,
and your strong men are all taken prisoners,
though far they had fled.
4 ‘Turn away from me,’ therefore I say,
‘Bitter tears would I shed.
Urge not upon me your comfort,
my people are ruined.’
5 For a day of confusion and trampling and tumult,
does come from the Lord, the Lord of Hosts.
They tear down the wall in the Valley of Hanno,
the war-cry ascends to the mountains.
6 Elam seized the quiver,
and Aram came riding on horses.
Kir uncovered the shield,
7 your choicest of valleys was crowded
with chariots and horsemen,
arrayed for assault on the gate.
8 Then you looked to the arms in the House of the
Forest,
9 you had eyes for the gaps in the Fortress of
David;
11 but you looked not to him who was doing all this,
you had no eyes for him who had planned it of old.
12 So the Lord, God of Hosts, has called you
to weeping and mourning, to baldness and sackcloth.
13 But see! There is nothing but mirth and rejoicing,
slaying of oxen and killing of sheep,
eating of meat and drinking of wine –
eating and drinking, ‘because’ (as you say)
‘we may haply be dead men tomorrow.’
14 The Lord of Hosts has declared in my ear,
‘This sin will assuredly never be purged
till you die’ – says the Lord, God of Hosts.
Personal threats and promises
The doom of Sheba
15 Against Shebna, the Governor of the Palace.
Thus says the Lord God,
go, get you yonder perfect (and say),
16 ‘What right have you here, and what kin have you here,
that you hew you here a sepulchre –
that here on the height you do hew you a sepulchre,
carving a home for yourself on the rock?
17 Behold, the Lord will firmly enwrap you,
and wind you and wind you around and around:
18 he will hurl you and hurl you afar like a ball,
mighty man that you are, to a spacious land.
Thither your glorious chariots will follow,
and there you will die,
you disgrace of the house of your lord.
The exaltation of Eliakim
19 I will thrust you from your office,
and tear you down from your post.
20 That day will I summon my servant,
Eliakim, son of Hilkiah.
21 I will put your mantle upon him,
and give your authority into this hand.
And a father he will be
to the folk of Jerusalem and the household of
Judah.
22 I will lay upon his shoulder
they key of the house of David,
so that none may shut when he opens,
nor open when he shuts.
23 I will fasten him securely,
like a nail in a place that is firm.
Through him will his father’s house
be lifted to seats of honour.’
The downfall of Eliakim’s family
24 his family will hang upon him with all their weight – off-spring and off-scourings, all the meaner sort of vessels, be they bowls or be they pitchers. 25 In that day, says the Lord of Hosts, will the nail so firmly fastened be removed with a wrench, and down will come in ruin all that had hung upon it: for the Lord of Hosts has spoken it.
