Isaiah 22 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

The [fn]oracle ^H4853 concerning the valley ^H1516 of vision ^H2384.

What ^H4100 is the matter with you now ^H645, that you have all ^H3605 gone ^H5927 up ^H5927 to the housetops ^H1406?

You who were full ^H4392 of noise ^H8663,

You roaring ^H1993 city ^H5892, you exultant ^H5947 town ^H7151;

Your slain ^H2491 were not slain ^H2491 with the sword ^H2719,

Nor ^H3808 [fn]did they die ^H4191 in battle ^H4421.

All ^H3605 your rulers ^H7101 have fled ^H5074 together ^H3162,

And have been captured ^H631 [fn]without ^H4480 the bow ^H7198;

All ^H3605 of you who were found ^H4672 were captured ^H631 together ^H3162,

[fn]Though they had fled ^H1272 far ^H7350 away ^H7350.

Therefore ^H5921 H3651 I say ^H559, “Turn ^H8159 your gaze ^H8159 away ^H8159 from me,

Let me weep ^H1065 bitterly ^H4843,

Do not insist ^H213 on comforting ^H5162 me concerning ^H5921 the destruction ^H7701 of the daughter ^H1323 of my people ^H5971.”

For Lord ^H136 Yahweh ^H3068 of hosts ^H6635 has a day ^H3117 of confusion ^H4103, oppression ^H4001, and panic ^H3998

In the valley ^H1516 of vision ^H2384,

A breaking ^H6979 down ^H6979 of walls ^H7023

And a crying ^H7771 [fn]to the mountain ^H2022.

Now Elam ^H5867 took ^H5375 up ^H5375 the quiver ^H827

With the chariots ^H7393, [fn]infantry ^H120, and horsemen ^H6571;

And Kir ^H7024 uncovered ^H6168 the shield ^H4043.

Then your choicest ^H4005 valleys ^H6010 were full ^H4390 of chariots ^H7393,

And the horsemen ^H6571 took ^H7896 up fixed ^H7896 positions ^H7896 at the gate ^H8179.

And He revealed ^H1540 the [fn]defense ^H4539 of Judah ^H3063.

In that day ^H3117 you looked ^H5027 to the weapons ^H5402 of the house ^H1004 of the forest ^H3293,

And you saw ^H7200 that the breaches ^H1233

In the wall of the city ^H5892 of David ^H1732 were ^H7231 many ^H7231;

And you collected ^H6908 the waters ^H4325 of the lower ^H8481 pool ^H1295.

Then you counted ^H5608 the houses ^H1004 of Jerusalem ^H3389

And tore ^H5422 down ^H5422 houses ^H1004 to fortify ^H1219 the wall ^H2346.

And you made ^H6213 a reservoir ^H4724 between ^H996 the two ^H2346 walls ^H2346

For the waters ^H4325 of the old ^H3465 pool ^H1295.

But you did not look ^H5027 to Him who made ^H6213 it,

Nor ^H3808 did you see ^H7200 Him who formed ^H3335 it long ^H7350 ago ^H7350.

Therefore in that day ^H3117 Lord ^H136 Yahweh ^H3068 of hosts ^H6635 called ^H7121 you to weeping ^H1065, to wailing ^H4553,

To shaving ^H7144 the ^H7144 head ^H7144, and to wearing ^H2296 sackcloth ^H8242.

Instead, behold, there is joy ^H8342 and gladness ^H8057,

Killing ^H2026 of cattle ^H1241 and slaughtering ^H7819 of sheep ^H6629,

Eating ^H398 of meat ^H1320 and drinking ^H8354 of wine ^H3196:

“Let us eat ^H398 and drink ^H8354, for tomorrow ^H4279 we may die ^H4191.”

But Yahweh ^H3068 of hosts ^H6635 revealed ^H1540 Himself in my ears ^H241,

“Surely ^H518 this ^H2088 iniquity ^H5771 shall not be atoned ^H3722 for you

Until ^H5704 you die ^H4191,” says ^H559 Lord ^H136 Yahweh ^H3068 of hosts ^H6635.

Thus ^H3541 says ^H559 Lord ^H136 Yahweh ^H3068 of hosts ^H6635,

“Come ^H1980, go ^H935 to this ^H2088 steward ^H5532,

To Shebna ^H7644, who ^H834 is in ^H5921 charge ^H5921 of ^H5921 the royal household ^H1004,

‘What ^H4100 right do you have here ^H6311,

And whom ^H4310 do you have here ^H6311,

That you have hewn ^H2672 a tomb ^H6913 for yourself here ^H6311,

You who hew ^H2672 a tomb ^H6913 on the height ^H4791,

You who carve ^H2710 a dwelling ^H4908 place ^H4908 for [fn]yourself in the cliff ^H5553?

‘Behold ^H2009, Yahweh ^H3068 is about to hurl ^H2904 you headlong ^H2925, O man ^H1397.

And He is about to grasp ^H5844 you firmly ^H5844

And He will surely ^H6801 roll ^H6801 you tightly ^H6802 like a ball ^H1754,

To be cast into a vast ^H7342 country ^H776;

There ^H8033 you will die ^H4191,

And there ^H8033 your glorious ^H3519 chariots ^H4818 will be,

You disgrace ^H7036 of your master’s ^H113 house ^H1004.’

“I will push ^H1920 you out of your office ^H4673,

And [fn]I will pull ^H2040 you down ^H2040 from your station ^H4612.

“Then it will be ^H1961 in that day ^H3117,

That I will summon ^H7121 My servant ^H5650 Eliakim ^H471 the son ^H1121 of Hilkiah ^H2518,

And I will clothe ^H3847 him with your tunic ^H3801

And tie ^H2388 your sash ^H73 securely ^H2388 about him.

I will give ^H5414 your [fn]authority ^H4475 into his hand ^H3027,

And he will become ^H1961 a father ^H1 to the inhabitants ^H3427 of Jerusalem ^H3389 and to the house ^H1004 of Judah ^H3063.

“Then I will set ^H5414 the key ^H4668 of the house ^H1004 of David ^H1732 on his shoulder ^H7926,

When he opens ^H6605 no ^H369 one ^H369 will shut ^H5462,

When he shuts ^H5462 no ^H369 one ^H369 will open ^H6605.

“I will drive ^H8628 him like a peg ^H3489 in a firm ^H539 place ^H4725,

And he will become ^H1961 a throne ^H3678 of glory ^H3519 to his father’s ^H1 house ^H1004.

“So they will hang ^H8518 on him all ^H3605 the glory ^H3519 of his father’s ^H1 house ^H1004, offspring ^H6631 and [fn]issue ^H6849, all ^H3605 the least ^H6996 of vessels ^H3627, from bowls ^H3627 H101 to all ^H3605 the jars ^H3627 H5035.
