The burden <H4853> of the valley <H1516> of vision. <H2384> What aileth thee now, <H0645> that thou art wholly gone up <H5927> to the housetops? <H1406>
2
Thou that art full <H4392> of stirs, <H8663> a tumultuous <H1993> city, <H5892> a joyous <H5947> city: <H7151> thy slain <H2491> [men are] not slain <H2491> with the sword, <H2719> nor dead <H4191> in battle. <H4421>
3
All thy rulers <H7101> are fled <H5074> together, <H3162> they are bound <H0631> by the archers: <H7198> all that are found <H4672> in thee are bound <H0631> together, <H3162> [which] have fled <H1272> from far. <H7350>
4
Therefore said <H0559> I, Look away <H8159> from me; I will weep <H1065> bitterly, <H4843> labour <H0213> not to comfort <H5162> me, because of the spoiling <H7701> of the daughter <H1323> of my people. <H5971>
5
For [it is] a day <H3117> of trouble, <H4103> and of treading down, <H4001> and of perplexity <H3998> by the Lord <H0136> GOD <H3069> of hosts <H6635> in the valley <H1516> of vision, <H2384> breaking down <H6979> the walls, <H7023> and of crying <H7771> to the mountains. <H2022>
6
And Elam <H5867> bare <H5375> the quiver <H0827> with chariots <H7393> of men <H0120> [and] horsemen, <H6571> and Kir <H7024> uncovered <H6168> the shield. <H4043>
7
And it shall come to pass, [that] thy choicest <H4005> valleys <H6010> shall be full <H4390> of chariots, <H7393> and the horsemen <H6571> shall set <H7896> themselves in array <H7896> at the gate. <H8179>
8
And he discovered <H1540> the covering <H4539> of Judah, <H3063> and thou didst look <H5027> in that day <H3117> to the armour <H5402> of the house <H1004> of the forest. <H3293>
9
Ye have seen <H7200> also the breaches <H1233> of the city <H5892> of David, <H1732> that they are many: <H7231> and ye gathered together <H6908> the waters <H4325> of the lower <H8481> pool. <H1295>
10
And ye have numbered <H5608> the houses <H1004> of Jerusalem, <H3389> and the houses <H1004> have ye broken down <H5422> to fortify <H1219> the wall. <H2346>
11
Ye made <H6213> also a ditch <H4724> between the two walls <H2346> for the water <H4325> of the old <H3465> pool: <H1295> but ye have not looked <H5027> unto the maker <H6213> thereof, neither had respect <H7200> unto him that fashioned <H3335> it long ago. <H7350>
12
And in that day <H3117> did the Lord <H0136> GOD <H3069> of hosts <H6635> call <H7121> to weeping, <H1065> and to mourning, <H4553> and to baldness, <H7144> and to girding <H2296> with sackcloth: <H8242>
13
And behold joy <H8342> and gladness, <H8057> slaying <H2026> oxen, <H1241> and killing <H7819> sheep, <H6629> eating <H0398> flesh, <H1320> and drinking <H8354> wine: <H3196> let us eat <H0398> and drink; <H8354> for to morrow <H4279> we shall die. <H4191>
14
And it was revealed <H1540> in mine ears <H0241> by the LORD <H3068> of hosts, <H6635> Surely this iniquity <H5771> shall not be purged <H3722> from you till ye die, <H4191> saith <H0559> the Lord <H0136> GOD <H3069> of hosts. <H6635>
15
Thus saith <H0559> the Lord <H0136> GOD <H3069> of hosts, <H6635> Go, <H3212> get <H0935> thee unto this treasurer, <H5532> [even] unto Shebna, <H7644> which [is] over the house, <H1004> [and say],
16
What hast thou here? and whom hast thou here, that thou hast hewed thee out <H2672> a sepulchre <H6913> here, <H6311> [as] he that heweth him out <H2672> a sepulchre <H6913> on high, <H4791> [and] that graveth <H2710> an habitation <H4908> for himself in a rock? <H5553>
17
Behold, the LORD <H3068> will carry thee away <H2904> with a mighty <H1397> captivity, <H2925> and will surely <H5844> cover <H5844> thee.
18
He will surely <H6801> violently turn <H6801> and toss <H6802> thee [like] a ball <H1754> into a large <H7342> <H3027> country: <H0776> there shalt thou die, <H4191> and there the chariots <H4818> of thy glory <H3519> [shall be] the shame <H7036> of thy lord's <H0113> house. <H1004>
19
And I will drive <H1920> thee from thy station, <H4673> and from thy state <H4612> shall he pull thee down. <H2040>
20
And it shall come to pass in that day, <H3117> that I will call <H7121> my servant <H5650> Eliakim <H0471> the son <H1121> of Hilkiah: <H2518>
21
And I will clothe <H3847> him with thy robe, <H3801> and strengthen <H2388> him with thy girdle, <H0073> and I will commit <H5414> thy government <H4475> into his hand: <H3027> and he shall be a father <H0001> to the inhabitants <H3427> of Jerusalem, <H3389> and to the house <H1004> of Judah. <H3063>
22
And the key <H4668> of the house <H1004> of David <H1732> will I lay <H5414> upon his shoulder; <H7926> so he shall open, <H6605> and none shall shut; <H5462> and he shall shut, <H5462> and none shall open. <H6605>
23
And I will fasten <H8628> him [as] a nail <H3489> in a sure <H0539> place; <H4725> and he shall be for a glorious <H3519> throne <H3678> to his father's <H0001> house. <H1004>
24
And they shall hang <H8518> upon him all the glory <H3519> of his father's <H0001> house, <H1004> the offspring <H6631> and the issue, <H6849> all vessels <H3627> of small <H6996> quantity, from the vessels <H3627> of cups, <H0101> even to all the vessels <H3627> of flagons. <H5035>
25
In that day, <H3117> saith <H5002> the LORD <H3068> of hosts, <H6635> shall the nail <H3489> that is fastened <H8628> in the sure <H0539> place <H4725> be removed, <H4185> and be cut down, <H1438> and fall; <H5307> and the burden <H4853> that [was] upon it shall be cut off: <H3772> for the LORD <H3068> hath spoken <H1696> [it].
