1. THE WORD OF THE VALLEY OF SION. What has happened to thee, that now ye are all gone up to the housetops which help you not?
|
1. The burden H4853 of the valley H1516 of vision H2384 . What H4100 aileth thee now H645 , that H3588 thou art wholly H3605 gone up H5927 to the housetops H1406 ?
|
|
2. The city is filled with shouting men: thy slain are not slain with swords, nor are thy dead those who have died in battle.
|
2. Thou that art full H4392 of stirs H8663 , a tumultuous H1993 city H5892 , a joyous H5947 city H7151 : thy slain H2491 men are not H3808 slain H2491 with the sword H2719 , nor H3808 dead H4191 in battle H4421 .
|
|
3. All thy princes have fled, and thy captives are tightly bound, and the mighty men in thee have fled far away.
|
3. All H3605 thy rulers H7101 are fled H5074 together H3162 , they are bound H631 by the archers H4480 H7198 : all H3605 that are found H4672 in thee are bound H631 together H3162 , which have fled H1272 from far H4480 H7350 .
|
|
4. Therefore I said, Let me alone, I will weep bitterly; labour not to comfort me for the breach of the daughter of my people.
|
4. Therefore H5921 H3651 said H559 I , Look away H8159 from H4480 me ; I will weep H1065 bitterly H4843 , labor H213 not H408 to comfort H5162 me, because H5921 of the spoiling H7701 of the daughter H1323 of my people H5971 .
|
|
5. For it is a day of trouble, and of destruction, and of treading down, and there is perplexity sent from the Lord of hosts: they wander in the valley of Sion; they wander from the least to the greatest on the mountains.
|
5. For H3588 it is a day H3117 of trouble H4103 , and of treading down H4001 , and of perplexity H3998 by the Lord H136 GOD H3069 of hosts H6635 in the valley H1516 of vision H2384 , breaking down H6979 the walls H7023 , and of crying H7771 to H413 the mountains H2022 .
|
|
6. And the Elamites took their quivers, and there were men mounted on horses, and there was a gathering for battle.
|
6. And Elam H5867 bore H5375 the quiver H827 with chariots H7393 of men H120 and horsemen H6571 , and Kir H7024 uncovered H6168 the shield H4043 .
|
|
7. And it shall be that thy choice valleys shall be filled with chariots, and horsemen shall block up thy gates.
|
7. And it shall come to pass H1961 , that thy choicest H4055 valleys H6010 shall be full H4390 of chariots H7393 , and the horsemen H6571 shall set themselves in array H7896 H7896 at the gate H8179 .
|
|
8. And they shall uncover the gates of Juda, and they shall look in that day on the choice houses of the city.
|
8. And he discovered H1540 H853 the covering H4539 of Judah H3063 , and thou didst look H5027 in that H1931 day H3117 to H413 the armor H5402 of the house H1004 of the forest H3293 .
|
|
9. And they shall uncover the secret places of the houses of the citadel of David: and they saw that they were many, and that one had turned the water of the old pool into the city;
|
9. Ye have seen H7200 also the breaches H1233 of the city H5892 of David H1732 , that H3588 they are many H7231 : and ye gathered together H6908 H853 the waters H4325 of the lower H8481 pool H1295 .
|
|
10. and that they had pulled down the houses of Jerusalem, to fortify the wall of the city.
|
10. And ye have numbered H5608 the houses H1004 of Jerusalem H3389 , and the houses H1004 have ye broken down H5422 to fortify H1219 the wall H2346 .
|
|
11. And ye procured to yourselves water between the two walls within the ancient pool: but ye looked not to him that made it from the beginning, and regarded not him that created it.
|
11. Ye made H6213 also a ditch H4724 between H996 the two walls H2346 for the water H4325 of the old H3465 pool H1295 : but ye have not H3808 looked H5027 unto H413 the maker H6213 thereof, neither H3808 had respect H7200 unto him that fashioned H3335 it long ago H4480 H7350 .
|
|
12. And the Lord, the Lord of hosts, called in that day for weeping, and lamentation, and Gr. shaving baldness, and for girding with sackcloth:
|
12. And in that H1931 day H3117 did the Lord H136 GOD H3069 of hosts H6635 call H7121 to weeping H1065 , and to mourning H4553 , and to baldness H7144 , and to girding H2296 with sackcloth H8242 :
|
|
13. but they engaged in joy and gladness, slaying calves, and killing sheep, so as to eat flesh, and drink wine; saying, Let us eat and drink; for to-morrow we die.
|
13. And behold H2009 joy H8342 and gladness H8057 , slaying H2026 oxen H1241 , and killing H7819 sheep H6629 , eating H398 flesh H1320 , and drinking H8354 wine H3196 : let us eat H398 and drink H8354 ; for H3588 tomorrow H4279 we shall die H4191 .
|
|
14. And these things are revealed in the ears of the Lord of hosts: for this sin shall not be forgiven you, until ye die.
|
14. And it was revealed H1540 in mine ears H241 by the LORD H3068 of hosts H6635 , Surely H518 this H2088 iniquity H5771 shall not be purged H3722 from you till H5704 ye die H4191 , saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 of hosts H6635 .
|
|
15. Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Go into the chamber, to Somnas the Or, steward treasurer, and say to him, Why art thou here?
|
15. Thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 of hosts H6635 , Go H1980 , get H935 thee unto H413 this H2088 treasurer H5532 , even unto H5921 Shebna H7644 , which H834 is over H5921 the house H1004 , and say ,
|
|
16. and what hast thou to do here, that thou hast here hewn thyself a sepulchre, and madest thyself a sepulchre on high, and hast graven for thyself a dwelling in the rock?
|
16. What H4100 hast thou here H6311 ? and whom H4310 hast thou here H6311 , that H3588 thou hast hewed thee out H2672 a sepulcher H6913 here H6311 , as he that heweth him out H2672 a sepulcher H6913 on high H4791 , and that graveth H2710 a habitation H4908 for himself in a rock H5553 ?
|
|
17. Behold now, the Lord of hosts casts forth and will utterly destroy such a man, and will take away thy robe and thy glorious crown,
|
17. Behold H2009 , the LORD H3068 will carry thee away H2904 with a mighty H1397 captivity H2925 , and will surely cover H5844 H5844 thee.
|
|
18. and will cast thee into a great and unmeasured land, and there thou shalt die: and he will bring thy fair chariot to shame, and the house of thy prince to be trodden down.
|
18. He will surely violently turn H6801 H6801 and toss H6802 thee like a ball H1754 into H413 a large H7342 H3027 country H776 : there H8033 shalt thou die H4191 , and there H8033 the chariots H4818 of thy glory H3519 shall be the shame H7036 of thy lord H113 's house H1004 .
|
|
19. And thou shalt be removed from thy stewardship, and from thy place.
|
19. And I will drive H1920 thee from thy station H4480 H4673 , and from thy state H4480 H4612 shall he pull thee down H2040 .
|
|
20. And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Chelcias:
|
20. And it shall come to pass H1961 in that H1931 day H3117 , that I will call H7121 my servant H5650 Eliakim H471 the son H1121 of Hilkiah H2518 :
|
|
21. and I will put on him thy robe, and I will grant him thy crown with power, and I will give thy stewardship into his hands: and he shall be as a father to them that dwell in Jerusalem, and to them that dwell in Juda.
|
21. And I will clothe H3847 him with thy robe H3801 , and strengthen H2388 him with thy girdle H73 , and I will commit H5414 thy government H4475 into his hand H3027 : and he shall be H1961 a father H1 to the inhabitants H3427 of Jerusalem H3389 , and to the house H1004 of Judah H3063 .
|
|
22. And I will give him the glory of David; and he shall rule, and there shall be none to speak against him: and I will give him Re 3:7 the key of the house of David upon his shoulder; and he shall open, and there shall be none to shut; and he shall shut, and there shall be none to open.
|
22. And the key H4668 of the house H1004 of David H1732 will I lay H5414 upon H5921 his shoulder H7926 ; so he shall open H6605 , and none H369 shall shut H5462 ; and he shall shut H5462 , and none H369 shall open H6605 .
|
|
23. And I will make him a ruler in a sure place, and he shall be for a glorious throne of his father’s house.
|
23. And I will fasten H8628 him as a nail H3489 in a sure H539 place H4725 ; and he shall be H1961 for a glorious H3519 throne H3678 to his father H1 's house H1004 .
|
|
24. And every one that is glorious in the house of his father shall trust in him, from the least to the greatest; and they shall depend upon him in that day.
|
24. And they shall hang H8518 upon H5921 him all H3605 the glory H3519 of his father H1 's house H1004 , the offspring H6631 and the issue H6849 , all H3605 vessels H3627 of small quantity H6996 , from the vessels H4480 H3627 of cups H101 , even to H5704 all H3605 the vessels H3627 of flagons H5035 .
|
|
25. Thus saith the Lord of hosts, The man that is fastened in the sure place shall be removed and be taken away, and shall fall; and the glory that is upon him shall be utterly destroyed: for the Lord has spoken it.
|
25. In that H1931 day H3117 , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 of hosts H6635 , shall the nail H3489 that is fastened H8628 in the sure H539 place H4725 be removed H4185 , and be cut down H1438 , and fall H5307 ; and the burden H4853 that H834 was upon H5921 it shall be cut off H3772 : for H3588 the LORD H3068 hath spoken H1696 it .
