22 The burden of the Valley of Vision:

What to you, then,

that you have gone up, all of you, to the housetops?

2 Full of noises,

the clamoring city, the exultant town!

Your slain are not the slain of the sword

and not ones having died in battle.

3 All of your leaders have fled together;

without a bow, they have been bound.

All of your found ones have been bound together;

they had fled far away.

4 Therefore I said, “Look away from me;

let me be bitter in weeping.

May you not try to comfort me

about the destruction of the daughter of my people.”

5 For it is a day of tumult and trampling and confusion

for the Lord, Yahweh of Armies,

in the Valley of Vision,

a breaking down of a wall

and an outcry to the mountain.

6 And Elam lifted up the quiver,

with chariots of men and horsemen,

and Kir uncovered the shield.

7 And it happened, the choicest of your valleys became full of chariotry,

and the horsemen, setting, set themselves at the gate.

8 And he removed the covering of Judah,

and you looked on that day

to the weaponry of the House of the Forest.

9 And you saw the breaches of the city of David, for they were many,

and you gathered the waters of the lower pool.

10 And you counted the houses of Jerusalem,

and you tore down houses to fortify the wall.

11 And you made a reservoir between the two walls

for the waters of the old pool.

But you did not look to its maker,

and you did not regard the one having formed it long ago.

12 And the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, called on that day

for weeping and for mourning,

and for baldness and for girding of sackcloth,

13 but behold, joy and gladness,

slaughtering cattle and killing sheep,

eating flesh and drinking wine:

“Eat and drink, for tomorrow we die!”

14 And it was revealed in my ears by Yahweh of Armies, “If this iniquity will be covered for you until you die!”—said the Lord, Yahweh of Armies.

15 Thus says the Lord, Yahweh of Armies:

“Go, come to this steward,

to Shebna, who is over the house,

16 ‘What to you here, and who to you here,

that you have hewn a tomb for yourself here,

hewing one’s tomb on high,

carving a dwelling for oneself in the rock?

17 Behold Yahweh, hurling you with a hurling, man,

and wrapping, he will wrap you.

18 Winding, he will wind you,

a toss like a ball to a land broad of hands.

There you will die, and there, the chariots of your glory,

disgrace of the house of your lord!

19 And I will thrust you from your station,

and from your position one will tear you down.

20 And it will happen in that day

that I will call to my servant, to Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah.

21 And I will clothe him with your tunic,

and I will fasten him with your sash,

and I will give your dominion into his hand.

And he will be for a father to the dweller of Jerusalem

and to the house of Judah.

22 And I will put the key of the house of David on his shoulder,

and he will open and none will be shutting,

and he will shut and none will be opening.

23 And I will drive him like a peg into a place made firm,

and he will be a throne of glory to the house of his father.

24 And they will hang on him all of the glory of the house of his father,

the offspring and the descendants,

all of the vessels of the small,

from the vessels of the bowls and to all of the vessels of the jars.’ ”

25 “In that day”—the declaration of Yahweh of Armies—”the peg driven into a place made firm will depart, and it will be cut down and fall, and the burden that was on it will be cut off”—for Yahweh has spoken.
