22:1 The
oracle
concerning
the
valley
of
vision.
What
do
you
mean
that
you
have
gone
up,
all
of
you,
to
the
housetops,
22:2 you
who
are
full
of
shoutings,
tumultuous
city,
exultant
town
Your
slain
are
not
slain
with
the
sword
or
dead
in
battle.
22:3 All
your
leaders
have
fled
together;
without
the
bow
they
were
captured.
All
of
you
who
were
found
were
captured,
though
they
had
fled
far
away.
22:4 Therefore
I
said:
"Look
away
from
me;
let
me
weep
bitter
tears;
do
not
labor
to
comfort
me
concerning
the
destruction
of
the
daughter
of
my
people."
22:5 For
the
Lord
GOD
of
hosts
has
a
day
of
tumult
and
trampling
and
confusion
in
the
valley
of
vision,
a
battering
down
of
walls
and
a
shouting
to
the
mountains.
22:6 And
Elam
bore
the
quiver
with
chariots
and
horsemen,
and
Kir
uncovered
the
shield.
22:7 Your
choicest
valleys
were
full
of
chariots,
and
the
horsemen
took
their
stand
at
the
gates.
22:8 He
has
taken
away
the
covering
of
Judah.
In
that
day
you
looked
to
the
weapons
of
the
House
of
the
Forest,
22:9 and
you
saw
that
the
breaches
of
the
city
of
David
were
many.
You
collected
the
waters
of
the
lower
pool,
22:10 and
you
counted
the
houses
of
Jerusalem,
and
you
broke
down
the
houses
to
fortify
the
wall.
22:11 You
made
a
reservoir
between
the
two
walls
for
the
water
of
the
old
pool.
But
you
did
not
look
to
him
who
did
it,
or
see
him
who
planned
it
long
ago.
22:12 In
that
day
the
Lord
GOD
of
hosts
called
for
weeping
and
mourning,
for
baldness
and
wearing
sackcloth;
22:13 and
behold,
joy
and
gladness,
killing
oxen
and
slaughtering
sheep,
eating
flesh
and
drinking
wine.
"Let
us
eat
and
drink,
for
tomorrow
we
die."
22:14 The
LORD
of
hosts
has
revealed
himself
in
my
ears:
"Surely
this
iniquity
will
not
be
atoned
for
you
until
you
die,"
says
the
Lord
GOD
of
hosts.
22:15 Thus
says
the
Lord
GOD
of
hosts,
"Come,
go
to
this
steward,
to
Shebna,
who
is
over
the
household,
and
say
to
him:
22:16 What
have
you
to
do
here,
and
whom
have
you
here,
that
you
have
cut
out
here
a
tomb
for
yourself,
you
who
cut
out
a
tomb
on
the
height
and
carve
a
dwelling
for
yourself
in
the
rock
22:17 Behold,
the
LORD
will
hurl
you
away
violently,
O
you
strong
man.
He
will
seize
firm
hold
on
you
22:18 and
whirl
you
around
and
around,
and
throw
you
like
a
ball
into
a
wide
land.
There
you
shall
die,
and
there
shall
be
your
glorious
chariots,
you
shame
of
your
master's
house.
22:19 I
will
thrust
you
from
your
office,
and
you
will
be
pulled
down
from
your
station.
22:20 In
that
day
I
will
call
my
servant
Eliakim
the
son
of
Hilkiah,
22:21 and
I
will
clothe
him
with
your
robe,
and
will
bind
your
sash
on
him,
and
will
commit
your
authority
to
his
hand.
And
he
shall
be
a
father
to
the
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem
and
to
the
house
of
Judah.
22:22 And
I
will
place
on
his
shoulder
the
key
of
the
house
of
David.
He
shall
open,
and
none
shall
shut;
and
he
shall
shut,
and
none
shall
open.
22:23 And
I
will
fasten
him
like
a
peg
in
a
secure
place,
and
he
will
become
a
throne
of
honor
to
his
father's
house.
22:24 And
they
will
hang
on
him
the
whole
honor
of
his
father's
house,
the
offspring
and
issue,
every
small
vessel,
from
the
cups
to
all
the
flagons.
22:25 In
that
day,
declares
the
LORD
of
hosts,
the
peg
that
was
fastened
in
a
secure
place
will
give
way,
and
it
will
be
cut
down
and
fall,
and
the
load
that
was
on
it
will
be
cut
off,
for
the
LORD
has
spoken."
