‏ Isaiah 22

CHAPTER 22 The Ravine of Zion

1 The matter of the ravine of Zion. What happened to you that now you [²ascended ¹all] unto the roofs in vain? 2 [³was filled up ¹the ²city] of ones yelling. Your slain are not slain ones by swords, nor your dead dead ones by war. 3 All your rulers have fled together from the bow, [²being tied ¹they are], and the ones being strong among you [²at a distance ¹have fled]. 4 On account of this, I said, Let me go! [²bitterly ¹I shall weep]. You should not grow strong to comfort me over the destruction of the daughter of my people. 5 For it is a day of disturbance, and destruction, and trampling, and an addiction to a delusion by the lord of Hosts. [²in ³the ravine ⁴of Zion ¹They wander]. [²from ³small ⁴unto ⁵great ¹They wander] upon the mountain. 6 But the Elamites took quivers, and [²riders ¹men] upon horses, and there was a gathering of a battle array. 7 And [⁴will be ²choice ³ravines ¹your] filled of chariots, and the horsemen shall obstruct your gates. 8 And they shall uncover the gates of Judah, and they shall look in that day unto the choice houses of the city. 9 And they shall uncover the hidden places of the houses of the Akra of David. And they saw that [²many more ¹there were], and they turned the water of the ancient pool into the city; 10 and that they demolished the houses of Jerusalem for fortification of the walls of the city. 11 And you produced for yourselves water between the two walls inside the [²pool ¹ancient], but you did not look to the [³in ⁴the beginning ¹one making ²it]; and the one creating it you did not behold. 12 And [³called ¹the lord ²of Hosts ⁵in ⁶that day ⁴for weeping], and beating the breast, and shaving, and girding up sackcloths. 13 But they were making glad and leaping for joy, slaying calves, and sacrificing sheep so as to eat meat and to drink wine, saying, We should eat and drink, for tomorrow we die. 14 And [²being uncovered ¹these things are] in the ears of the lord of Hosts, for [³shall not ⁴be forgiven ⁵you ¹this ²sin] until whenever you should die. 15 Thus says the lord of Hosts, Go into the cubicle, to Somnan the storekeeper, and say to him, 16 Why are you here? and what is there to you here? that you quarried for yourself here a memorial, and made for yourself in a high place a memorial, and depicted to yourself [²in ³the rock ¹a dwelling]. 17 Behold, indeed, the lord of Hosts shall cast out and shall obliterate such a man, and shall remove your apparel, and [³crown ¹your ²honorable], 18 and will toss you into [⁴place ¹a great ²and ³unmeasured], and there you shall die; and he will establish [³chariot ¹your ²good] for dishonor, and the house of your ruler for trampling. 19 And you shall be removed from your administration, and from your station. 20 And it will be in that day, even I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Helkiah; 21 and I will put on him your apparel, and [³your crown ¹I will give ²to him]. And might, and your administration I will put into his hands; and he shall be as a father to the ones dwelling Jerusalem, and to the ones dwelling Judah. 22 And I will put to him the key of the house of David upon his shoulder. And he shall open, and there will not be one locking. And he shall lock, and there shall not be one opening. And I will give the glory of David to him. And he will rule, and there will not be one disputing. 23 And I will establish him as ruler in [²place ¹a trustworthy], and he will be for a throne of glory [²house ¹for his father's]. 24 And [⁷will be ⁸relying ⁹upon ¹⁰him ¹every ²honorable one ³in ⁴the ⁵house ⁶of his father], from small unto great; every [²vessel ¹small] from vessels of the cups. And they will be hanging upon him in that day. 25 Thus says the lord of Hosts, [⁷shall be moved ¹The ²man ³being fixed fast ⁴in ⁶place ⁵a trustworthy]; and [⁴shall be removed ⁵and ⁶shall fall ⁷and ⁸shall waste away ¹the ²glory ³upon him]; for the lord spoke.
