Dual Panel1The 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>_?
2Thou 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>_.
3All 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>_. {by...: Heb. of the bow}
4Therefore 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>_. {weep...: Heb. be bitter in weeping}
5For [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>_.
6And 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>_. {uncovered: Heb. made naked}
7And 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>_. {thy...: Heb. the choice of thy valleys} {at: or, toward}
8And 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>_.
9Ye 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>_.
10And 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>_.
11Ye 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>_.
12And 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>_:
13And 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)_.
14And 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>_.
15Thus 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],
16What 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>_? {as...: or, O he}
17Behold, the LORD <03068> will carry thee away <02904> (8772) with a mighty <01397> captivity <02925>_, and will surely <05844> (8800) cover <05844> (8802) thee. {will carry...: or, who covered thee with an excellent covering, and clothed thee gorgeously, (next verse) shall surely, etc} {a mighty...: Heb. the captivity of a man}
18He 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>_. {large: Heb. large of spaces}
19And I will drive <01920> (8804) thee from thy station <04673>_, and from thy state <04612> shall he pull thee down <02040> (8799)_.
20And 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>_:
21And 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>_.
22And 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)_.
23And 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>_.
24And 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>_. {vessels of flagons: or, instruments of viols}
25In 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].
