Isaiah - douay rheims

Chapter 22

¹ THE burden of the valley of vision. What aileth thee also, that thou too art wholly gone up to the housetops?
² Full of clamour, a populous city, a joyous city: thy slain are not slain by the sword, nor dead in battle.
³ All the princes are fled together, and are bound hard: all that were found, are bound together, they are fled far off.
⁴ Therefore have I said: Depart from me, I will weep bitterly: labour not to comfort me, for the devastation of the daughter of my people.
⁵ For it is a day of slaughter and of treading down, and of weeping to the Lord the God of hosts in the valley of vision, searching the wall, and magnificent upon the mountain.
⁶ And Elam took the quiver, the chariot of the horseman, and the shield was taken down from the wall.
⁷ And thy choice valleys shall be full of chariots, and the horseman shall place themselves in the gate.
⁸ And the covering of Juda shall be discovered, and thou shalt see in that day the armoury of the house of the forest.
⁹ And you shall see the breaches of the city of David, that they are many: and you have gathered together the waters of the lower pool,
¹⁰ And have numbered the houses of Jerusalem, and broken down houses to fortify the wall.
¹¹ And you made a ditch between the two walls for the water of the old pool: and you have not looked up to the maker thereof, nor regarded him even at a distance, that wrought it long ago.
¹² And the Lord, the God of hosts, in that day shall call to weeping, and to mourning, to baldness, and to girding with sackcloth:
¹³ And behold joy and gladness, killing calves, and slaying rams, eating flesh, and drinking wine: Let us eat and drink; for to morrow we shall die.
¹⁴ And the voice of the Lord of hosts was revealed in my ears: Surely this iniquity shall not be forgiven you till you die, saith the Lord God of hosts.
¹⁵ Thus saith the Lord God of hosts: Go, get thee in to him that dwelleth in the tabernacle, to Sobna who is over the temple: and thou shalt say to him:
¹⁶ What dost thou here, or as if thou wert somebody here? for thou hast hewed thee out a sepulchre here, thou hast hewed out a monument carefully in a high place, a dwelling for thyself in a rock.
¹⁷ Behold the Lord will cause thee to be carried away, as a cock is carried away, and he will lift thee up as a garment.
¹⁸ He will crown thee with a crown of tribulation, he will toss thee like a ball into a large and spacious country: there shalt thou die, and there shall the chariot of thy glory be, the shame of the house of thy Lord.
¹⁹ And I will drive thee out From thy station, and depose thee from thy ministry.
²⁰ And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will call my servant Eliacim the son of Helcias,
²¹ And I will clothe him with thy robe, and will strengthen him with thy girdle, and will give thy power into his hand: and he shall be as a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Juda.
²² And I will lay the key of the house of David upon his shoulder: and he shall open, and none shall shut: and he shall shut, and none shall open.
²³ And I will fasten him as a peg in a sure place, and he shall be for a throne of glory to the house of his father.
²⁴ And they shall hang upon him all the glory of his father's house, divers kinds of vessels, every little vessel, from the vessels of cups even to every instrument of music.
²⁵ In that day, saith the Lord of hosts, shall the peg be removed, that was fastened in the sure place: and it shall be broken and shall fall: and that which hung thereon, shall perish, because the Lord hath spoken it.

Chapter 22

¹ The burden of the valley of vision. What aileth thee now, that thou hast wholly gone up to the house-tops?
² Thou that art full of stirs, a tumultuous city, a joyous city: thy slain men are not slain with the sword, nor dead in battle.
³ All thy rulers have fled together, they are bound by the archers: all that are found in thee are bound together, who have fled from far.
⁴ Therefore said I, Look away from me; I will weep bitterly, labor not to comfort me, because of the devastation of the daughter of my people.
⁵ For it is a day of trouble, and of treading down, and of perplexity by the Lord GOD of hosts in the valley of vision, breaking down the walls, and of crying to the mountains.
⁶ And Elam bore the quiver with chariots of men and horsemen, and Kir uncovered the shield.
⁷ And it shall come to pass, that thy choicest valleys shall be full of chariots, and the horsemen shall set themselves in array at the gate.
⁸ And he uncovered the coverings of Judah, and thou didst look in that day to the armor of the house of the forest.
⁹ Ye have seen also the breaches of the city of David, that they are many: and ye collected the waters of the lower pool.
¹⁰ And ye have numbered the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses have ye broken down to fortify the wall.
¹¹ Ye made also a ditch between the two walls for the water of the old pool: but ye have not looked to its maker, neither had respect to him that fashioned it long ago.
¹² And in that day did the Lord GOD of hosts call to weeping, and to mourning, and to baldness, and to girding with sackcloth:
¹³ And behold joy and gladness, slaying oxen, and killing sheep, eating flesh, and drinking wine: let us eat and drink; for to-morrow we shall die.
¹⁴ And it was revealed in my ears by the LORD of hosts, Surely this iniquity shall not be purged from you till ye die, saith the Lord GOD of hosts.
¹⁵ Thus saith the Lord GOD of hosts, Go, repair to this treasurer, even to Shebna, who is over the house, and say,
¹⁶ What hast thou here? and whom hast thou here, that thou hast hewed thee out a sepulcher here, as he that heweth him out a sepulcher on high, and that graveth a habitation for himself in a rock?
¹⁷ Behold, the LORD will carry thee away with a mighty captivity, and will surely cover thee.
¹⁸ With violence he will surely turn and toss thee like a ball into a wide country: there shalt thou die, and there the chariots of thy glory shall be the shame of thy lord's house.
¹⁹ And I will drive thee from thy station, and from thy state shall he pull thee down.
²⁰ And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah:
²¹ And I will clothe him with thy robe, and strengthen him with thy girdle, and I will commit thy government into his hand: and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah.
²² And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open.
²³ And I will fasten him as a nail in a sure place; and he shall be for a glorious throne to his father's house.
²⁴ And they shall hang upon him all the glory of his father's house, the offspring and the issue, all vessels of small quantity, from the vessels of cups, even to all the vessels of flagons.
²⁵ In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, shall the nail that is fastened in the sure place be removed, and be cut down, and fall; and the burden that was upon it shall be cut off: for the LORD hath spoken it.

Chapter 22

¹ burden of the valley of vision. What ails you now, that you have all gone up to the housetops?
² that are full of shouting, a tumultuous city, a joyous town; your slain are not slain with the sword, neither are they dead in battle.
³ your rulers fled away together. They were bound by the archers. All who were found by you were bound together. They fled far away.
⁴ I said, "Look away from me. I will weep bitterly. Don't labor to comfort me for the destruction of the daughter of my people.
⁵ it is a day of confusion, and of treading down, and of perplexity, from the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, in the valley of vision; a breaking down of the walls, and a crying to the mountains."
⁶ carried his quiver, with chariots of men and horsemen; and Kir uncovered the shield.
⁷ happened that your choicest valleys were full of chariots, and the horsemen set themselves in array at the gate.
⁸ took away the covering of Judah; and you looked in that day to the armor in the house of the forest.
⁹ saw the breaches of the city of David, that they were many; and you gathered together the waters of the lower pool.
¹⁰ numbered the houses of Jerusalem, and you broke down the houses to fortify the wall.
¹¹ also made a reservoir between the two walls for the water of the old pool. But you didn't look to him who had done this, neither did you have respect for him who purposed it long ago.
¹² that day, the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, called to weeping, and to mourning, and to baldness, and to dressing in sackcloth:
¹³ behold, joy and gladness, killing cattle and killing sheep, eating flesh and drinking wine: "Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we will die."
¹⁴ of Armies revealed himself in my ears, "Surely this iniquity will not be forgiven you until you die," says the Lord, Yahweh of Armies.
¹⁵ says the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, "Go, get yourself to this treasurer, even to Shebna, who is over the house, and say,
¹⁶ 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 Yahweh will overcome you and hurl you away violently. Yes, he will grasp you firmly.
¹⁸ will surely wind you around and around, and throw you like a ball into a large country. There you will die, and there the chariots of your glory will be, you shame of your lord's house.
¹⁹ will thrust you from your office. You will be pulled down from your station.
²⁰ will happen in that day that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah,
²¹ I will clothe him with your robe, and strengthen him with your belt. I will commit your government into his hand; and he will be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah.
²² will lay the key of the house of David on his shoulder. He will open, and no one will shut. He will shut, and no one will open.
²³ will fasten him like a nail in a sure place. He will be for a throne of glory to his father's house.
²⁴ will hang on him all the glory of his father's house, the offspring and the issue, every small vessel, from the cups even to all the pitchers.
²⁵ that day," says Yahweh of Armies, "the nail that was fastened in a sure place will give way. It will be cut down, and fall. The burden that was on it will be cut off, for Yahweh has spoken it."

¹ The burden of the valley of vision. What aileth thee now, that thou art wholly gone up to the housetops?
² Thou that wast full of stir, a town of tumult, a joyous city: thy slain men are not slain with the sword, nor dead in battle.
³ All thy rulers have fled together, they are taken prisoners without the bow: all that are found of thee are made prisoners together; they were fleeing far off.
⁴ Therefore said I, Look away from me; let me weep bitterly: labour not to comfort me, because of the spoiling of the daughter of my people.
⁵ For it is a day of trouble, and of treading down, and of perplexity, from the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, in the valley of vision; [a day of] breaking down the wall, and of crying to the mountain:
⁶ -- Elam beareth the quiver with chariots of men [and] horsemen; and Kir uncovereth the shield.
⁷ And it shall come to pass [that] thy choicest valleys shall be full of chariots, and the horsemen shall set themselves in array at the gate.
⁸ And he uncovereth the covering of Judah: and thou didst look in that day to the armour in the house of the forest;
⁹ and ye have seen the breaches of the city of David, that they are many; and ye have gathered together the waters of the lower pool;
¹⁰ and ye have numbered the houses of Jerusalem, and have broken down the houses to fortify the wall;
¹¹ and ye have made a reservoir between the two walls for the water of the old pool: but ye have not had regard unto the maker thereof, neither have ye looked unto him that fashioned it long ago.
¹² And in that day did the Lord Jehovah of hosts call to weeping, and to mourning, and to baldness, and to 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 And it was revealed in mine ears by Jehovah of hosts: Assuredly this iniquity shall not be purged from you till ye die, saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts.
¹⁵ Thus saith the Lord Jehovah of hosts: Go, get thee in unto this steward, unto Shebna, who is over the house, [and say,]
¹⁶ What hast thou here? and whom hast thou here, that thou hast hewn thee out a sepulchre here, [as] he that heweth out his sepulchre on high, cutting out in the rock a habitation for himself?
¹⁷ Behold, Jehovah will hurl thee with the force of a mighty man, and will cover thee entirely.
¹⁸ Rolling thee up completely, he will roll thee as a ball into a wide country: there shalt thou die, and there shall be the chariots of thy glory, O shame of thy lord's house!
¹⁹ And I will drive thee from thine office, and from thy station will I pull thee down.
²⁰ And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkijah;
²¹ and I will clothe him with thy robe, and strengthen him with thy girdle, and I will commit thy government into his hand; and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah.
²² And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; and he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open.
²³ And I will fasten him [as] a nail in a sure place; and he shall be for a throne of glory to his father's house:
²⁴ and they shall hang upon him all the glory of his father's house, the offspring and the issue, all the small vessels, as well the vessels of cups as all the vessels of flagons.
²⁵ In that day, saith Jehovah of hosts, shall the nail that is fastened in a sure place be removed, and be cut down, and fall; and the burden that was upon it shall be cut off: for Jehovah hath spoken.

Chapter 22

¹ The word about the valley of vision. Why have all your people gone up to the house-tops?
² You, who are full of loud voices, a town of outcries, given up to joy; your dead men have not been put to the sword, or come to their death in war.
³ All your rulers ... have gone in flight; all your strong ones have gone far away.
⁴ For this cause I have said, Let your eyes be turned away from me in my bitter weeping; I will not be comforted for the wasting of the daughter of my people.
⁵ For it is a day of trouble and of crushing down and of destruction from the Lord, the Lord of armies, in the valley of vision; ...
⁶ And Elam was armed with arrows, and Aram came on horseback; and the breastplate of Kir was uncovered.
⁷ And your most fertile valleys were full of war-carriages, and the horsemen took up their positions in front of the town.
⁸ He took away the cover of Judah; and in that day you were looking with care at the store of arms in the house of the woods.
⁹ And you saw all the broken places in the wall of the town of David: and you got together the waters of the lower pool.
¹⁰ And you had the houses of Jerusalem numbered, pulling down the houses to make the wall stronger.
¹¹ And you made a place between the two walls for storing the waters of the old pool: but you gave no thought to him who had done this, and were not looking to him by whom it had been purposed long before.
¹² And in that day the Lord, the Lord of armies, was looking for weeping, and cries of sorrow, cutting off of the hair, and putting on the clothing of grief:
¹³ But in place of these there was joy and delight, oxen and sheep were being made ready for food, there was feasting and drinking: men said, Now is the time for food and wine, for tomorrow death comes.
¹⁴ And the Lord of armies said to me secretly, Truly, this sin will not be taken from you till your death, says the Lord, the Lord of armies.
¹⁵ The Lord, the Lord of armies, says, Go to this person in authority, this Shebna, who is over the house; who has made himself a resting-place on high, cutting out a place for himself in the rock, and say,
¹⁶ Who are you, and by what right have you made for yourself a resting-place here?
¹⁷ See, O strong man, the Lord will send you violently away, gripping you with force,
¹⁸ Twisting you round and round like a ball he will send you out into a wide country: there you will come to your end, and there will be the carriages of your pride, O shame of your lord's house!
¹⁹ And I will have you forced out of your place of authority, and pulled down from your position.
²⁰ And in that day I will send for my servant, Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah:
²¹ And I will put your robe on him, and put your band about him, and I will give your authority into his hand: and he will be a father to the men of Jerusalem, and to the family of Judah.
²² And I will give the key of the family of David into his care; and what he keeps open will be shut by no one, and what he keeps shut no one will make open.
²³ And I will put him like a nail in a safe place; and he will be for a seat of glory to his father's family.
²⁴ And all the glory of his father's family will be hanging on him, all their offspring, every small vessel, even the cups and the basins.
²⁵ In that day, says the Lord of armies, will the nail fixed in a safe place give way; and it will be cut down, and in its fall the weight hanging on it will be cut off, for the Lord has said it.
