The Valley of Vision

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 22:1 -

The pronouncement 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 tumultuous town, you jubilant city;

Your dead were not killed 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 taken captive together,

[fn]Though they had fled far away.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 22:4 -

Therefore I say, “Look away from me,

Let me weep bitterly,

Do not [fn]try to comfort me concerning the destruction of the daughter of my people.”

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 22:5 -

For the Lord [fn]GOD of armies has a day of panic, subjugation, and confusion

In the valley of vision,

A breaking down of walls

And a crying [fn]to the mountain.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 22:6 -

Elam picked 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 positions at the gate.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 22:8 -

And He removed the [fn]defense of Judah.

On that day you [fn]depended on 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 [fn]depend on Him who made it,

Nor did you [fn]take into consideration Him who planned it long ago.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 22:12 -

Therefore on that day the Lord [fn]GOD of armies called you to weeping, to wailing,

To shaving the head, and to wearing sackcloth.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 22:13 -

Instead, there is joy and jubilation,

Killing of cattle and slaughtering of sheep,

Eating of meat and drinking of wine:

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

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 22:14 -

But the LORD of armies revealed Himself [fn]to me:

“Certainly this wrongdoing will not be [fn]forgiven you

Until you die,” says the Lord [fn]GOD of armies.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 22:15 -

This is what the Lord [fn]GOD of armies says:

“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 cut out a tomb for yourself here,

You who cut out a tomb on the height,

You who carve a resting place for [fn]yourself in the rock?

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 22:17 -

‘Behold, the LORD is about to hurl you violently, you strong man.

And He is about to grasp you firmly

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 22:18 -

And wrap you up tightly like a ball,

To be driven into a vast country;

There you will die,

And there your splendid chariots will be,

You shame of your master’s house!’

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 22:19 -

“I will depose you from your office,

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

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 22:20 -

“Then it will come about on 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 around him.

I will hand your [fn]authority over to him,

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 put 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, the offspring and the [fn]descendants, all the least of vessels, from bowls to all the jars.

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