An Oracle Concerning the Valley of Vision

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 22:1 -

The [fn]oracle concerning the valley of vision.

What is the matter with you now, that you have all gone up to the housetops?

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 22:2 -

You who were full of noise,

You roaring city, you exultant town;

Your slain were not slain with the sword,

Nor [fn]did they die in battle.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 22:3 -

All your rulers have fled together,

And have been captured [fn]without the bow;

All of you who were found were captured together,

[fn]Though they had fled far away.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 22:4 -

Therefore I say, “Turn your gaze away from me,

Let me weep bitterly,

Do not insist on comforting me concerning the destruction of the daughter of my people.”

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 22:5 -

For Lord Yahweh of hosts has a day of confusion, oppression, and panic

In the valley of vision,

A breaking down of walls

And a crying [fn]to the mountain.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 22:6 -

Now Elam took up the quiver

With the chariots, [fn]infantry, and horsemen;

And Kir uncovered the shield.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 22:7 -

Then your choicest valleys were full of chariots,

And the horsemen took up fixed positions at the gate.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 22:8 -

And He revealed the [fn]defense of Judah.

In that day you looked to the weapons of the house of the forest,

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 22:9 -

And you saw that the breaches

In the wall of the city of David were many;

And you collected the waters of the lower pool.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 22:10 -

Then you counted the houses of Jerusalem

And tore down houses to fortify the wall.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 22:11 -

And you made a reservoir between the two walls

For the waters of the old pool.

But you did not look to Him who made it,

Nor did you see Him who formed it long ago.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 22:12 -

Therefore in that day Lord Yahweh of hosts called you to weeping, to wailing,

To shaving the head, and to wearing sackcloth.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 22:13 -

Instead, behold, there is joy and gladness,

Killing of cattle and slaughtering of sheep,

Eating of meat and drinking of wine:

“Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we may die.”

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 22:14 -

But Yahweh of hosts revealed Himself in my ears,

“Surely this iniquity shall not be atoned for you

Until you die,” says Lord Yahweh of hosts.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 22:15 -

Thus says Lord Yahweh of hosts,

“Come, go to this steward,

To Shebna, who is in charge of the royal household,

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 22:16 -

‘What right do you have here,

And whom do you have here,

That you have hewn a tomb for yourself here,

You who hew a tomb on the height,

You who carve a dwelling place for [fn]yourself in the cliff?

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 22:17 -

‘Behold, Yahweh is about to hurl you headlong, O man.

And He is about to grasp you firmly

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 22:18 -

And He will surely roll you tightly like a ball,

To be cast into a vast country;

There you will die,

And there your glorious chariots will be,

You disgrace of your master’s house.’

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 22:19 -

“I will push you out of your office,

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

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 22:20 -

“Then it will be in that day,

That I will summon My servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah,

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 22:21 -

And I will clothe him with your tunic

And tie your sash securely about him.

I will give your [fn]authority into his hand,

And he will become a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to the house of Judah.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 22:22 -

“Then I will set the key of the house of David on his shoulder,

When he opens no one will shut,

When he shuts no one will open.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 22:23 -

“I will drive him like a peg in a firm place,

And he will become a throne of glory to his father’s house.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 22:24 -

“So they will hang on him all the glory of his father’s house, offspring and [fn]issue, all the least of vessels, from bowls to all the jars.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 22:25 - “In that day,” declares Yahweh of hosts, “the peg driven in a firm place will give way; it will even break off and fall, and the load hanging on it will be cut off, for Yahweh has spoken.”
