The Book of Isaiah 22

22 An oracle for the Valley of Vision:

What is it to you, now, that you go up,

all of you, to the housetops?

2 The clamoring town is full of noises,

the city reveling.

Your slain were not slain by sword,

and not dead in battle.

3 All your rulers fled away together;

without a bow they were captured.

All your remainder captured together,

though they had fled far away.

4 Therefore, I said,

“Look away from me!

I shall weep bitterly;

do not rush to comfort me

concerning 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 hosts

in the Valley of Vision,

a breaking down of the walls,

and a crying out to the mountains.

6 And Elam bore the quiver,

with chariots of men of horses,

and Kir uncovered the shield.

7 And your choicest valleys were full of chariots,

and the horsemen took position at the gate.

8 And he took away the protection of Judah.

And you looked on that day

to the weapons of the House of the Forest.

9 And the breaches of the city of David,

you saw that they increased,

and you collected the water of the lower pool.

10 And you counted the houses of Jerusalem,

and you tore down the houses to fortify the wall.

11 And you made a reservoir between the two walls

for the water of the old pool,

but you did not look to its maker,

and its designer from long ago you did not see.

12 And the Lord Yahweh of hosts

called on that day

for weeping and for mourning

and for shaved heads and for the wearing of sackcloth.

13 But, behold: celebration and gladness,

killing cattle and slaughtering sheep,

eating meat and drinking wine:

"Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we will die."

14 And it was revealed in my ears by Yahweh of hosts: “Surely this iniquity will not be forgiven you, even when you die,” says the Lord Yahweh of hosts.

15 Thus says the Lord Yahweh of hosts,

“You, go to this administrator

to Shebna, who is over the house,

16 ‘Why are you here and who let you here

that you are digging for yourself here a tomb,

digging his grave on the heights,

carving out a resting place for himself in the rock?’ ”

17 Behold, Yahweh is about to throw you mighty man, about to throw you down;

and he will grasp you tightly.

18 He will surely wind you round and round,

toss like a ball into a country broad on both sides.

There you will die,

and there the chariots of your glory

will be the shame of the house of your master.

19 And I shall thrust you from your office

and from your station you will be pulled down.

20 And it will happen on that day that I shall call my servant Eliakim son of Hilkiah. 21 And I shall clothe him with your tunic and fasten him with your sash and give your authority into his hand. And he will be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to the house of Judah. 22 And I shall place the key to the house of David on his shoulder, and he will open, and none will shut, and he will shut, and none will open, 23 and I shall fasten him, a peg in a secure place, and he will become a seat of glory for the house of his father. 24 And they will hang on him all the glory of the house of his father, the offspring and descendants, every small vessel from the vessels of the cups and to all the vessels of the jugs.

25 On that day—the declaration of Yahweh of hosts—the peg driven in a firm place will give way and break off and fall, and the weight that was on it will be cut off—for Yahweh has spoken.
