22:1 The burden 4853 of the valley 1516 of vision 2384. What aileth thee now 645, that thou art wholly gone up 5927 8804 to the housetops 1406?

22:2 Thou that art full 4392 of stirs 8663, a tumultuous 1993 8802 city 5892, a joyous 5947 city 7151: thy slain 2491 [men are] not slain 2491 with the sword 2719, nor dead 4191 8801 in battle 4421.

22:3 All thy rulers 7101 are fled 5074 8804 together 3162, they are bound 631 8795 by the archers 7198: all that are found 4672 8737 in thee are bound 631 8795 together 3162, [which] have fled 1272 8804 from far 7350.(by…: Heb. of the bow)

22:4 Therefore said 559 8804 I, Look away 8159 8798 from me; I will weep 1065 bitterly 4843 8762, labour 213 8686 not to comfort 5162 8763 me, because of the spoiling 7701 of the daughter 1323 of my people 5971.(weep…: Heb. be bitter in weeping)

22:5 For [it is] a day 3117 of trouble 4103, and of treading down 4001, and of perplexity 3998 by the Lord 136 GOD 3069 of hosts 6635 in the valley 1516 of vision 2384, breaking 6979 8772 down the walls 7023, and of crying 7771 to the mountains 2022.

22:6 And Elam 5867 bare 5375 8804 the quiver 827 with chariots 7393 of men 120 [and] horsemen 6571, and Kir 7024 uncovered 6168 8765 the shield 4043.(uncovered: Heb. made naked)

22:7 And it shall come to pass, [that] thy choicest 4005 valleys 6010 shall be full 4390 8804 of chariots 7393, and the horsemen 6571 shall set 7896 8804 themselves in array 7896 8800 at the gate 8179.(thy…: Heb. the choice of thy valleys)(at: or, towards)

22:8 And he discovered 1540 8762 the covering 4539 of Judah 3063, and thou didst look 5027 8686 in that day 3117 to the armour 5402 of the house 1004 of the forest 3293.

22:9 Ye have seen 7200 8804 also the breaches 1233 of the city 5892 of David 1732, that they are many 7231 8804: and ye gathered together 6908 8762 the waters 4325 of the lower 8481 pool 1295.

22:10 And ye have numbered 5608 8804 the houses 1004 of Jerusalem 3389, and the houses 1004 have ye broken down 5422 8799 to fortify 1219 8763 the wall 2346.

22:11 Ye made 6213 8804 also a ditch 4724 between the two walls 2346 for the water 4325 of the old 3465 pool 1295: but ye have not looked 5027 8689 unto the maker 6213 8802 thereof, neither had respect 7200 8804 unto him that fashioned 3335 8802 it long ago 7350.

22:12 And in that day 3117 did the Lord 136 GOD 3069 of hosts 6635 call 7121 8799 to weeping 1065, and to mourning 4553, and to baldness 7144, and to girding 2296 8800 with sackcloth 8242:

22:13 And behold joy 8342 and gladness 8057, slaying 2026 8800 oxen 1241, and killing 7819 8800 sheep 6629, eating 398 8800 flesh 1320, and drinking 8354 8800 wine 3196: let us eat 398 8800 and drink 8354 8800; for to morrow 4279 we shall die 4191 8799.

22:14 And it was revealed 1540 8738 in mine ears 241 by the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635, Surely this iniquity 5771 shall not be purged 3722 8792 from you till ye die 4191 8799, saith 559 8804 the Lord 136 GOD 3069 of hosts 6635.

22:15 Thus saith 559 8804 the Lord 136 GOD 3069 of hosts 6635, Go 3212 8798, get 935 8798 thee unto this treasurer 5532 8802, [even] unto Shebna 7644, which [is] over the house 1004, [and say],

22:16 What hast thou here? and whom hast thou here, that thou hast hewed thee out 2672 8804 a sepulchre 6913 here 6311, [as] he that heweth him out 2672 8802 a sepulchre 6913 on high 4791, [and] that graveth 2710 8802 an habitation 4908 for himself in a rock 5553?(as…: or, O he)

22:17 Behold, the LORD 3068 will carry thee away 2904 8772 with a mighty 1397 captivity 2925, and will surely 5844 8800 cover 5844 8802 thee.(will carry…: or, the Lord who covered thee with an excellent covering, and clothed thee gorgeously, v.18.shall surely, etc)(a mighty…: Heb. the captivity of a man)

22:18 He will surely 6801 8800 violently turn 6801 8799 and toss 6802 thee [like] a ball 1754 into a large 7342 3027 country 776: there shalt thou die 4191 8799, and there the chariots 4818 of thy glory 3519 [shall be] the shame 7036 of thy lord's 113 house 1004.(large: Heb. large of spaces)

22:19 And I will drive 1920 8804 thee from thy station 4673, and from thy state 4612 shall he pull thee down 2040 8799.

22:20 And it shall come to pass in that day 3117, that I will call 7121 8804 my servant 5650 Eliakim 471 the son 1121 of Hilkiah 2518:

22:21 And I will clothe 3847 8689 him with thy robe 3801, and strengthen 2388 8762 him with thy girdle 73, and I will commit 5414 8799 thy government 4475 into his hand 3027: and he shall be a father 1 to the inhabitants 3427 8802 of Jerusalem 3389, and to the house 1004 of Judah 3063.

22:22 And the key 4668 of the house 1004 of David 1732 will I lay 5414 8804 upon his shoulder 7926; so he shall open 6605 8804, and none shall shut 5462 8802; and he shall shut 5462 8804, and none shall open 6605 8802.

22:23 And I will fasten 8628 8804 him [as] a nail 3489 in a sure 539 8737 place 4725; and he shall be for a glorious 3519 throne 3678 to his father's 1 house 1004.

22:24 And they shall hang 8518 8804 upon him all the glory 3519 of his father's 1 house 1004, the offspring 6631 and the issue 6849, all vessels 3627 of small 6996 quantity, from the vessels 3627 of cups 101, even to all the vessels 3627 of flagons 5035.(vessels of flagons: or, instruments of viols)

22:25 In that day 3117, saith 5002 8803 the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635, shall the nail 3489 that is fastened 8628 8803 in the sure 539 8737 place 4725 be removed 4185 8799, and be cut down 1438 8738, and fall 5307 8804; and the burden 4853 that [was] upon it shall be cut off 3772 8738: for the LORD 3068 hath spoken 1696 8765 [it].
