Isaiah 22 The burden concerning the valley of vision. What ails you now, that you are wholly gone up to the housetops?

VIN⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ The burden concerning the valley of vision. What ails you now, that you are wholly gone up to the housetops? ² You are a town full of commotion, a city of tumult and revelry. The sword did not kill your slain, nor did they die in battle. ³ All your leaders have fled together. They have been captured without using the bow. All you who were caught were taken prisoner together. You fled while the enemy was still far away. ⁴ I said: "Turn away from me. Let me weep bitterly. Do not try to console me over the destruction of my people." ⁵ The Sovereign LORD Almighty has a day of tumult, trampling and terror in the Valley of Vision. It is a day of battering down walls and of crying out to the mountains. ⁶ Elam takes up the quiver, with her charioteers and horses. Kir uncovers the shield. ⁷ Your choicest valleys are full of chariots, and horsemen are posted at the city gates. ⁸ The defenses of Judah are stripped away. And you looked in that day to the weapons in the house of the forest. ⁹ You saw that the City of David had many breaches in its defenses. You stored up water in the lower pool. ¹⁰ You counted the houses of Jerusalem, and you broke down the houses to fortify the wall. ¹¹ You made a reservoir between the two walls for the water of the old pool. But you did not look to him who did it, or have regard for him who planned it long ago. ¹² And the Lord, the LORD Almighty, called on that day for weeping and mourning, and for baldness and girding with sackcloth. ¹³ and behold joy and rejoicing, slaying oxen, and killing sheep, eating flesh, and drinking wine: -- Let us eat and drink, for to-morrow we die. ¹⁴ the LORD Almighty has disclosed himself in my ears: "Surely this iniquity will not be forgiven you until you die," says the LORD Almighty. ¹⁵ So says the Lord, the LORD Almighty, Go, go up to this treasurer, to Shebna who is over the house. Say, ¹⁶ 'What are you doing here? Who has you here, that you have dug out a tomb here?' Cutting himself out a tomb on high, chiseling a habitation for himself in the rock." ¹⁷ Look! the LORD is about to ⌊really hurl⌋ you, man! And he is about to grasp you firmly; ¹⁸ "'He will surely turn violently and toss you like a ball into a large country! There you shall die, and there your glorious chariots will be the shame of your master's house.' ¹⁹ And I will thrust you from your office and you will be pulled down from your station. ²⁰ And in that day I will send for my servant, Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah: ²¹ and I will clothe him with your robe, and will fasten your girdle on him, and I will give your authority into his hand. And he shall be a father to the people of Jerusalem and to the house of Judah. ²² "'I will lay the key of the house of David on his shoulder. He will open, and no one will shut and he will shut, and no one will open. ²³ And I will drive him in like a peg into a secure place, and he will become like a throne of glory to the house of his father. ²⁴ And they will hang all of the heaviness of his father's house on him, the offspring and the offshoot, all of the small vessels, from the bowls to the jars. ²⁵ On that day, declares the LORD Almighty, the peg that was driven will move away into a secure place, and it will be cut down and fall, and the load that was on her will be cut off. For the LORD has spoken.'"
