[1] The burden of the valley of vision.What ails you now, that you have all gone up to the housetops? [2] You that are full of shouting, a tumultuous city, a joyous town, your slain are not slain with the sword, neither are they dead in battle. [3] All your rulers fled away together. They were bound by the archers. All who were found by you were bound together. They fled far away. [4] Therefore I said, “Look away from me. I will weep bitterly. Don’t labor to comfort me for the destruction of the daughter of my people. [5] For it is a day of confusion, and of treading down, and of perplexity from the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, in the valley of vision, a breaking down of the walls, and a crying to the mountains.” [6] Elam carried his quiver, with chariots of men and horsemen; and Kir uncovered the shield. [7] Your choicest valleys were full of chariots, and the horsemen set themselves in array at the gate. [8] He took away the covering of Judah; and you looked in that day to the armor in the house of the forest. [9] You saw the breaches of David’s city, that they were many; and you gathered together the waters of the lower pool. [10] You counted the houses of Jerusalem, and you broke down the houses to fortify the wall. [11] You also made a reservoir between the two walls for the water of the old pool. But you didn’t look to him who had done this, neither did you have respect for him who planned it long ago. [12] In that day, the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, called to weeping, to mourning, to baldness, and to dressing in sackcloth; [13] and behold, there is joy and gladness, killing cattle and killing sheep, eating meat and drinking wine: “Let’s eat and drink, for tomorrow we will die.” [14] Yahweh of Armies revealed himself in my ears, “Surely this iniquity will not be forgiven you until you die,” says the Lord, Yahweh of Armies. [15] The Lord, Yahweh of Armies says, “Go, get yourself to this treasurer, even to Shebna, who is over the house, and say, [16] ‘What are you doing here? Who has you here, that you have dug out a tomb here?’ Cutting himself out a tomb on high, chiseling a habitation for himself in the rock!” [17] Behold, Yahweh will overcome you and hurl you away violently. Yes, he will grasp you firmly. [18] He will surely wind you around and around, and throw you like a ball into a large country. There you will die, and there the chariots of your glory will be, you disgrace of your lord’s house. [19] I will thrust you from your office. You will be pulled down from your station. [20] It will happen in that day that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, [21] and I will clothe him with your robe, and strengthen him with your belt. I will commit your government into his hand; and he will be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah. [22] I will lay the key of David’s house on his shoulder. He will open, and no one will shut. He will shut, and no one will open. [23] I will fasten him like a nail in a sure place. He will be for a throne of glory to his father’s house. [24] They will hang on him all the glory of his father’s house, the offspring and the issue, every small vessel, from the cups even to all the pitchers. [25] “In that day,” says Yahweh of Armies, “the nail that was fastened in a sure place will give way. It will be cut down and fall. The burden that was on it will be cut off, for Yahweh has spoken it.”

Jerusalem

[1] The burden H4853 of the valley H1516 of vision. H2384What aileth thee now, H645 that thou art wholly gone up H5927 (QalPerf) to the housetops? H1406 [2] Thou that art full H4392 of stirs, H8663 a tumultuous H1993 (QalActPtc) city, H5892 a joyous H5947 city: H7151 thy slain H2491 men are not slain H2491 with the sword, H2719 nor dead H4191 (QalPtc) in battle. H4421 [3] All thy rulers H7101 are fled H5074 (QalPerf) together, H3162 they are bound H631 (PualPerf) by the archers: H7198§ all that are found H4672 (NiphPtc) in thee are bound H631 (PualPerf) together, H3162 which have fled H1272 (QalPerf) from far. H7350 [4] Therefore said H559 (QalPerf) I, Look away H8159 (QalImpv) from me; I will weep H1065 bitterly, H4843 (PielImpf)§ labour H213 (HiphImpf) not to comfort H5162 (PielInf) 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 H136 God H3069 of hosts H6635 in the valley H1516 of vision, H2384 breaking H6979 (PilpPtc) down the walls, H7023 and of crying H7771 to the mountains. H2022 [6] And Elam H5867 bare H5375 (QalPerf) the quiver H827 with chariots H7393 of men H120 and horsemen, H6571 and Kir H7024 uncovered H6168 (PielPerf)§ the shield. H4043 [7] And it shall come to pass, that thy choicest H4005 valleys H6010§ shall be full H4390 (QalPerf) of chariots, H7393 and the horsemen H6571 shall set H7896 (QalPerf) themselves in array H7896 (QalInf) at the gate. H8179§ [8] And he discovered H1540 (PielImpf) the covering H4539 of Judah, H3063 and thou didst look H5027 (HiphImpf) in that day H3117 to the armour H5402 of the house H1004 of the forest. H3293 [9] Ye have seen H7200 (QalPerf) also the breaches H1233 of the city H5892 of David, H1732 that they are many: H7231 (QalPerf) and ye gathered together H6908 (PielImpf) the waters H4325 of the lower H8481 pool. H1295 [10] And ye have numbered H5608 (QalPerf) the houses H1004 of Jerusalem, H3389 and the houses H1004 have ye broken down H5422 (QalImpf) to fortify H1219 (PielInf) the wall. H2346 [11] Ye made H6213 (QalPerf) 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 (HiphPerf) unto the maker H6213 (QalActPtc) thereof, neither had respect H7200 (QalPerf) unto him that fashioned H3335 (QalActPtc) it long ago. H7350 [12] And in that day H3117 did the Lord H136 God H3069 of hosts H6635 call H7121 (QalImpf) to weeping, H1065 and to mourning, H4553 and to baldness, H7144 and to girding H2296 (QalInf) with sackcloth: H8242 [13] and behold joy H8342 and gladness, H8057 slaying H2026 (QalInf) oxen, H1241 and killing H7819 (QalInf) sheep, H6629 eating H398 (QalInf) flesh, H1320 and drinking H8354 (QalInf) wine: H3196 let us eat H398 (QalInf) and drink; H8354 (QalInf) for to morrow H4279 we shall die. H4191 (QalImpf) [14] And it was revealed H1540 (NiphPerf) in mine ears H241 by the Lord H3068 of hosts, H6635 Surely this iniquity H5771 shall not be purged H3722 (PualImpf) from you till ye die, H4191 (QalImpf) saith H559 (QalPerf) the Lord H136 God H3069 of hosts. H6635 [15] Thus saith H559 (QalPerf) the Lord H136 God H3069 of hosts, H6635 Go, H3212 (QalImpv) get H935 (QalImpv) thee unto this treasurer, H5532 (QalActPtc) 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 (QalPerf) a sepulchre H6913 here, H6311 as he§ that heweth him out H2672 (QalActPtc) a sepulchre H6913 on high, H4791 and that graveth H2710 (QalActPtc) an habitation H4908 for himself in a rock? H5553 [17] Behold, the Lord H3068 will carry thee away H2904 (PilpPtc) with§ a mighty H1397 captivity, H2925 and will surely H5844 (QalInf) cover H5844 (QalActPtc) thee. [18] He will surely H6801 (QalInf) violently turn H6801 (QalImpf) and toss H6802 thee like a ball H1754 into a large H7342§ country: H776 there shalt thou die, H4191 (QalImpf) and there the chariots H4818 of thy glory H3519 shall be the shame H7036 of thy lord’s H113 house. H1004 [19] And I will drive H1920 (QalPerf) thee from thy station, H4673 and from thy state H4612 shall he pull thee down. H2040 (QalImpf) [20] And it shall come to pass in that day, H3117 that I will call H7121 (QalPerf) my servant H5650 Eliakim H471 the son H1121 of Hilkiah: H2518 [21] and I will clothe H3847 (HiphPerf) him with thy robe, H3801 and strengthen H2388 (PielImpf) him with thy girdle, H73 and I will commit H5414 (QalImpf) thy government H4475 into his hand: H3027 and he shall be a father H1 to the inhabitants H3427 (QalActPtc) 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 (QalPerf) upon his shoulder; H7926 so he shall open, H6605 (QalPerf) and none shall shut; H5462 (QalActPtc) and he shall shut, H5462 (QalPerf) and none shall open. H6605 (QalActPtc) [23] And I will fasten H8628 (QalPerf) him as a nail H3489 in a sure H539 (NiphPtc) place; H4725 and he shall be for a glorious H3519 throne H3678 to his father’s H1 house. H1004 [24] And they shall hang H8518 (QalPerf) upon him all the glory H3519 of his father’s H1 house, H1004 the offspring H6631 and the issue, H6849 all vessels H3627 of small H6996 quantity, from the vessels H3627 of cups, H101 even to all the vessels H3627 of flagons. H5035§ [25] In that day, H3117 saith H5002 (QalPasPtc) the Lord H3068 of hosts, H6635 shall the nail H3489 that is fastened H8628 (QalPasPtc) in the sure H539 (NiphPtc) place H4725 be removed, H4185 (QalImpf) and be cut down, H1438 (NiphPerf) and fall; H5307 (QalPerf) and the burden H4853 that was upon it shall be cut off: H3772 (NiphPerf) for the Lord H3068 hath spoken H1696 (PielPerf) it.
