Isaiah 22

¹The Word of the Valley of Sion. What has happened to thee, that now ye are all gone up to the housetops which help you not?

¹THE WORD OF THE VALLEY OF SION. What has happened to you, that now you⌃ are all gone up to the housetops which help you not?

²The city is filled with shouting [men]: thy slain are not slain with swords, nor are thy dead those who have died in battle.

²The city is filled with shouting [men]: your slain are not slain with swords, nor are your dead those who have died in battle.

³All thy princes have fled, and [thy] captives are tightly bound, and the mighty [men] in thee have fled far away.

³All your princes have fled, and [your] captives are tightly bound, and the mighty [men] in you have fled far away.

⁴Therefore I said, Let me alone, I will weep bitterly; labour not to comfort me for the breach of the daughter of my people.

⁴Therefore I said, Let me alone, I will weep bitterly; labor not to comfort me for the breach of the daughter of my people.

⁵For [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 Sion; they wander from the least to the greatest on the mountains.

⁶And the Elamites took [their] quivers, and [there were] men mounted on horses, and [there was] a gathering for battle.

⁷And it shall be [that] thy choice valleys shall be filled with chariots, and horsemen shall block up thy gates.

⁷And it shall be [that] your choice valleys shall be filled with chariots, and horsemen shall block up your gates.

⁸And they shall uncover the gates of Juda, and they shall look in that day on the choice houses of the city.

⁹And 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;

¹⁰and that they [had] pulled down the houses of Jerusalem, to fortify the wall of the city.

¹¹And 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.

¹¹And you⌃ procured to yourselves water between the two walls within the ancient pool: but you⌃ looked not to him that made it from the beginning, and regarded not him that created it.

¹²And the Lord, the Lord of hosts, called in that day for weeping, and lamentation, and baldness, and for girding with sackcloth:

¹³but 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.

¹⁴And these things are revealed in the ears of the Lord of hosts: for this sin shall not be forgiven you, until ye die.

¹⁴And these things are revealed in the ears of the Lord of hosts: for this sin shall not be forgiven you, until you⌃ die.

¹⁵Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Go into the chamber, to Somnas the treasurer, and say to him, Why art thou here?

¹⁵Thus says the Lord of hosts, Go into the chamber, to Somnas the treasurer, and say to him, Why are you here?

¹⁶and 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?

¹⁶and what have you to do here, that you have here hewn yourself a sepulchre, and made yourself a sepulchre on high, and have graven for yourself a dwelling in the rock?

¹⁷Behold now, the Lord of hosts casts forth and will utterly destroy [such] a man, and will take away thy robe and thy glorious crown,

¹⁷Behold now, the Lord of hosts casts forth and will utterly destroy [such] a man, and will take away your robe and your glorious crown,

¹⁸and 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.

¹⁸and will cast you into a great and unmeasured land, and there you shall die: and he will bring your fair chariot to shame, and the house of your prince to be trodden down.

¹⁹And thou shalt be removed from thy stewardship, and from thy place.

¹⁹And you shall be removed from your stewardship, and from your place.

²⁰And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Chelcias:

²¹and 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 Juda.

²¹and I will put on him your robe, and I will grant him your crown with power, and I will give your stewardship into his hands: and he shall be as a father to them that dwell in Jerusalem, and to them that dwell in Juda.

²²And 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.

²³And I will make him a ruler in a sure place, and he shall be for a glorious throne of his father's house.

²⁴And 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.

²⁵Thus 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.

²⁵Thus says 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.
