Isaiah 22 (WEBP)

[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.”

Isaiah 22 (KJVS)

[1] The burden of the valley of vision. What aileth thee now, that thou art wholly gone up () to the housetops?
[2] Thou that art full of stirs, a tumultuous () city, a joyous city: thy slain [men are] not slain with the sword, nor dead () in battle.
[3] All thy rulers are fled () together, they are bound () by the archers: all that are found () in thee are bound () together, [which] have fled () from far.
[4] Therefore said () I, Look away () from me; I will weep bitterly, () labour () not to comfort () me, because of the spoiling of the daughter of my people.
[5] For [it is] a day of trouble, and of treading down, and of perplexity by the Lord God of hosts in the valley of vision, breaking () down the walls, and of crying to the mountains.
[6] And Elam bare () the quiver with chariots of men [and] horsemen, and Kir uncovered () the shield.
[7] And it shall come to pass, [that] thy choicest valleys shall be full () of chariots, and the horsemen shall set () themselves in array () at the gate.
[8] And he discovered () the covering of Judah, and thou didst look () in that day to the armour of the house of the forest.
[9] Ye have seen () also the breaches of the city of David, that they are many: () and ye gathered together () the waters of the lower pool.
[10] And ye have numbered () the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses have ye broken down () to fortify () the wall.
[11] Ye made () also a ditch between the two walls for the water of the old pool: but ye have not looked () unto the maker () thereof, neither had respect () unto him that fashioned () it long ago.
[12] And in that day did the Lord God of hosts call () to weeping, and to mourning, and to baldness, and to girding () with sackcloth:
[13] And behold joy and gladness, slaying () oxen, and killing () sheep, eating () flesh, and drinking () wine: let us eat () and drink; () for to morrow we shall die. ()
[14] And it was revealed () in mine ears by the Lord of hosts, Surely this iniquity shall not be purged () from you till ye die, () saith () the Lord God of hosts.
[15] Thus saith () the Lord God of hosts, Go, () get () thee unto this treasurer, () [even] unto Shebna, which [is] over the house, [and say],
[16] What hast thou here? and whom hast thou here, that thou hast hewed thee out () a sepulchre here, [as] he that heweth him out () a sepulchre on high, [and] that graveth () an habitation for himself in a rock?
[17] Behold, the Lord will carry thee away () with a mighty captivity, and will surely () cover () thee.
[18] He will surely () violently turn () and toss thee [like] a ball into a large country: there shalt thou die, () and there the chariots of thy glory [shall be] the shame of thy lord’s house.
[19] And I will drive () thee from thy station, and from thy state shall he pull thee down. ()
[20] And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will call () my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah:
[21] And I will clothe () him with thy robe, and strengthen () him with thy girdle, and I will commit () thy government into his hand: and he shall be a father to the inhabitants () of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah.
[22] And the key of the house of David will I lay () upon his shoulder; so he shall open, () and none shall shut; () and he shall shut, () and none shall open. ()
[23] And I will fasten () him [as] a nail in a sure () place; and he shall be for a glorious throne to his father’s house.
[24] And they shall hang () upon him all the glory of his father’s house, the offspring and the issue, all vessels of small quantity, from the vessels of cups, even to all the vessels of flagons.
[25] In that day, saith () the Lord of hosts, shall the nail that is fastened () in the sure () place be removed, () and be cut down, () and fall; () and the burden that [was] upon it shall be cut off: () for the Lord hath spoken () [it].

Isaiah 22 (BYZ)

[1] το ρημα της φαραγγος σιων τι εγενετο σοι νυν οτι ανεβητε παντες εις δωματα
[2] ματαια ενεπλησθη η πολις βοωντων οι τραυματιαι σου ου τραυματιαι μαχαιρας ουδε οι νεκροι σου νεκροι πολεμου
[3] παντες οι αρχοντες σου πεφευγασιν και οι αλοντες σκληρως δεδεμενοι εισιν και οι ισχυοντες εν σοι πορρω πεφευγασιν
[4] δια τουτο ειπα αφετε με πικρως κλαυσομαι μη κατισχυσητε παρακαλειν με επι το συντριμμα της θυγατρος του γενους μου
[5] οτι ημερα ταραχης και απωλειας και καταπατηματος και πλανησις παρα κυριου σαβαωθ εν φαραγγι σιων πλανωνται απο μικρου εως μεγαλου πλανωνται επι τα ορη
[6] οι δε αιλαμιται ελαβον φαρετρας αναβαται ανθρωποι εφ ιπποις και συναγωγη παραταξεως
[7] και εσονται αι εκλεκται φαραγγες σου πλησθησονται αρματων οι δε ιππεις εμφραξουσι τας πυλας σου
[8] και ανακαλυψουσιν τας πυλας ιουδα και εμβλεψονται τη ημερα εκεινη εις τους εκλεκτους οικους της πολεως
[9] και ανακαλυψουσιν τα κρυπτα των οικων της ακρας δαυιδ και ειδοσαν οτι πλειους εισιν και οτι απεστρεψαν το υδωρ της αρχαιας κολυμβηθρας εις την πολιν
[10] και οτι καθειλοσαν τους οικους ιερουσαλημ εις οχυρωμα του τειχους τη πολει
[11] και εποιησατε εαυτοις υδωρ ανα μεσον των δυο τειχεων εσωτερον της κολυμβηθρας της αρχαιας και ουκ ενεβλεψατε εις τον απ αρχης ποιησαντα αυτην και τον κτισαντα αυτην ουκ ειδετε
[12] και εκαλεσεν κυριος σαβαωθ εν τη ημερα εκεινη κλαυθμον και κοπετον και ξυρησιν και ζωσιν σακκων
[13] αυτοι δε εποιησαντο ευφροσυνην και αγαλλιαμα σφαζοντες μοσχους και θυοντες προβατα ωστε φαγειν κρεα και πιειν οινον λεγοντες φαγωμεν και πιωμεν αυριον γαρ αποθνησκομεν
[14] και ανακεκαλυμμενα ταυτα εστιν εν τοις ωσιν κυριου σαβαωθ οτι ουκ αφεθησεται υμιν αυτη η αμαρτια εως αν αποθανητε
[15] ταδε λεγει κυριος σαβαωθ πορευου εις το παστοφοριον προς σομναν τον ταμιαν και ειπον αυτω
[16] τι συ ωδε και τι σοι εστιν ωδε οτι ελατομησας σεαυτω ωδε μνημειον και εποιησας σεαυτω εν υψηλω μνημειον και εγραψας σεαυτω εν πετρα σκηνην
[17] ιδου δη κυριος σαβαωθ εκβαλει και εκτριψει ανδρα και αφελει την στολην σου
[18] και τον στεφανον σου τον ενδοξον και ριψει σε εις χωραν μεγαλην και αμετρητον και εκει αποθανη και θησει το αρμα σου το καλον εις ατιμιαν και τον οικον του αρχοντος σου εις καταπατημα
[19] και αφαιρεθηση εκ της οικονομιας σου και εκ της στασεως σου
[20] και εσται εν τη ημερα εκεινη καλεσω τον παιδα μου ελιακιμ τον του χελκιου
[21] και ενδυσω αυτον την στολην σου και τον στεφανον σου δωσω αυτω και το κρατος και την οικονομιαν σου δωσω εις τας χειρας αυτου και εσται ως πατηρ τοις ενοικουσιν εν ιερουσαλημ και τοις ενοικουσιν εν ιουδα
[22] και δωσω την δοξαν δαυιδ αυτω και αρξει και ουκ εσται ο αντιλεγων
[23] και στησω αυτον αρχοντα εν τοπω πιστω και εσται εις θρονον δοξης του οικου του πατρος αυτου
[24] και εσται πεποιθως επ αυτον πας ενδοξος εν τω οικω του πατρος αυτου απο μικρου εως μεγαλου και εσονται επικρεμαμενοι αυτω
[25] εν τη ημερα εκεινη ταδε λεγει κυριος σαβαωθ κινηθησεται ο ανθρωπος ο εστηριγμενος εν τοπω πιστω και πεσειται και αφαιρεθησεται η δοξα η επ αυτον οτι κυριος ελαλησεν
