1 # The burden <04853> of the valley <01516> of vision <02384>. What aileth thee now <0645>, that thou art wholly gone up <05927> (8804) to the housetops <01406>?
2 Thou that art full <04392> of stirs <08663>, a tumultuous <01993> (8802) city <05892>, a joyous <05947> city <07151>: thy slain <02491> men are not slain <02491> with the sword <02719>, nor dead <04191> (8801) in battle <04421>.
3 All thy rulers <07101> are fled <05074> (8804) together <03162>, they are bound <0631> (8795) by the archers <07198>: all that are found <04672> (8737) in thee are bound <0631> (8795) together <03162>, which have fled <01272> (8804) from far <07350>.
4 Therefore said <0559> (8804) I, Look away <08159> (8798) from me; I will weep <01065> bitterly <04843> (8762), labour <0213> (8686) not to comfort <05162> (8763) me, because of the spoiling <07701> of the daughter <01323> of my people <05971>.
5 For it is a day <03117> of trouble <04103>, and of treading down <04001>, and of perplexity <03998> by the Lord <0136> GOD <03069> of hosts <06635> in the valley <01516> of vision <02384>, breaking <06979> (8772) down the walls <07023>, and of crying <07771> to the mountains <02022>.
6 And Elam <05867> bare <05375> (8804) the quiver <0827> with chariots <07393> of men <0120> and horsemen <06571>, and Kir <07024> uncovered <06168> (8765) the shield <04043>.
7 And it shall come to pass, that thy choicest <04005> valleys <06010> shall be full <04390> (8804) of chariots <07393>, and the horsemen <06571> shall set <07896> (8804) themselves in array <07896> (8800) at the gate <08179>.
8 # And he discovered <01540> (8762) the covering <04539> of Judah <03063>, and thou didst look <05027> (8686) in that day <03117> to the armour <05402> of the house <01004> of the forest <03293>.
9 Ye have seen <07200> (8804) also the breaches <01233> of the city <05892> of David <01732>, that they are many <07231> (8804): and ye gathered together <06908> (8762) the waters <04325> of the lower <08481> pool <01295>.
10 And ye have numbered <05608> (8804) the houses <01004> of Jerusalem <03389>, and the houses <01004> have ye broken down <05422> (8799) to fortify <01219> (8763) the wall <02346>.
11 Ye made <06213> (8804) also a ditch <04724> between the two walls <02346> for the water <04325> of the old <03465> pool <01295>: but ye have not looked <05027> (8689) unto the maker <06213> (8802) thereof, neither had respect <07200> (8804) unto him that fashioned <03335> (8802) it long ago <07350>.
12 And in that day <03117> did the Lord <0136> GOD <03069> of hosts <06635> call <07121> (8799) to weeping <01065>, and to mourning <04553>, and to baldness <07144>, and to girding <02296> (8800) with sackcloth <08242>:
13 And behold joy <08342> and gladness <08057>, slaying <02026> (8800) oxen <01241>, and killing <07819> (8800) sheep <06629>, eating <0398> (8800) flesh <01320>, and drinking <08354> (8800) wine <03196> : let us eat <0398> (8800) and drink <08354> (8800); for to morrow <04279> we shall die <04191> (8799).
14 And it was revealed <01540> (8738) in mine ears <0241> by the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>, Surely this iniquity <05771> shall not be purged <03722> (8792) from you till ye die <04191> (8799), saith <0559> (8804) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069> of hosts <06635>.
15 # Thus saith <0559> (8804) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069> of hosts <06635>, Go <03212> (8798) , get <0935> (8798) thee unto this treasurer <05532> (8802), even unto Shebna <07644>, which is over the house <01004>, and say,
16 What hast thou here? and whom hast thou here, that thou hast hewed thee out <02672> (8804) a sepulchre <06913> here <06311> , as he that heweth him out <02672> (8802) a sepulchre <06913> on high <04791>, and that graveth <02710> (8802) an habitation <04908> for himself in a rock <05553>?
17 Behold, the LORD <03068> will carry thee away <02904> (8772) with a mighty <01397> captivity <02925>, and will surely <05844> (8800) cover <05844> (8802) thee.
18 He will surely <06801> (8800) violently turn <06801> (8799) and toss <06802> thee like a ball <01754> into a large <07342> <03027> country <0776>: there shalt thou die <04191> (8799), and there the chariots <04818> of thy glory <03519> shall be the shame <07036> of thy lord's <0113> house <01004>.
19 And I will drive <01920> (8804) thee from thy station <04673>, and from thy state <04612> shall he pull thee down <02040> (8799).
20 And it shall come to pass in that day <03117>, that I will call <07121> (8804) my servant <05650> Eliakim <0471> the son <01121> of Hilkiah <02518>:
21 And I will clothe <03847> (8689) him with thy robe <03801>, and strengthen <02388> (8762) him with thy girdle <073>, and I will commit <05414> (8799) thy government <04475> into his hand <03027>: and he shall be a father <01> to the inhabitants <03427> (8802) of Jerusalem <03389>, and to the house <01004> of Judah <03063>.
22 And the key <04668> of the house <01004> of David <01732> will I lay <05414> (8804) upon his shoulder <07926>; so he shall open <06605> (8804), and none shall shut <05462> (8802); and he shall shut <05462> (8804), and none shall open <06605> (8802).
23 And I will fasten <08628> (8804) him as a nail <03489> in a sure <0539> (8737) place <04725> ; and he shall be for a glorious <03519> throne <03678> to his father's <01> house <01004>.
24 And they shall hang <08518> (8804) upon him all the glory <03519> of his father's <01> house <01004>, the offspring <06631> and the issue <06849>, all vessels <03627> of small <06996> quantity, from the vessels <03627> of cups <0101>, even to all the vessels <03627> of flagons <05035>.
25 In that day <03117>, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>, shall the nail <03489> that is fastened <08628> (8803) in the sure <0539> (8737) place <04725> be removed <04185> (8799), and be cut down <01438> (8738), and fall <05307> (8804); and the burden <04853> that was upon it shall be cut off <03772> (8738) : for the LORD <03068> hath spoken <01696> (8765) it.
