Isa 22
1 The Ravine of Zion
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.
3All your rulers have fled together from the bow, [
2being tied
1they are], and the ones being strong among you [
2at a distance
1have fled].
4On 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.
5For
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.
6But the Elamites took quivers, and [
2riders
1men] upon horses, and
there was a gathering of a battle array.
7And [
4will be
2choice
3ravines
1your] filled of chariots, and the horsemen shall obstruct your gates.
8And they shall uncover the gates of Judah, and they shall look in that day unto the choice houses of the city.
9And 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;
10and that they demolished the houses of Jerusalem for fortification of
the walls of the city.
11And 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.
12And [
3called
1the LORD 2of Hosts
5in
6that day
4for weeping], and beating the breast, and shaving, and girding up sackcloths.
13But 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.
14And [
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.
15Thus says
the LORD of Hosts, Go into the cubicle, to Somnan the storekeeper, and say to him,
16Why 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].
17Behold, indeed,
the LORD of Hosts shall cast out and shall obliterate
such a man, and shall remove your apparel, and [
3crown
1your
2honorable],
18and 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.
19And you shall be removed from your administration, and from your station.
20And it will be in that day, even I will call my servant Eliakim the
son of Helkiah;
21and 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.
22And 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.
23And I will establish him as ruler in [
2place
1a trustworthy], and he will be for a throne of glory [
2house
1for his father's].
24And [
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.
25Thus 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.
