noyes - Isaiah:22

noyes@Isaiah:22:1 @ The prophecy concerning the valley of vision. What aileth thee now, That all thine inhabitants are gone up to the housetops?

noyes@Isaiah:22:2 @ Thou that wast full of noise, A tumultuous city, a joyous city! Thy slain fall not by the sword; They are not slain in battle.

noyes@Isaiah:22:3 @ All thy leaders flee together, By the bowmen are they bound; All found within thee are made captive together, Even they who have fled from afar.

noyes@Isaiah:22:4 @ Therefore, say I, look away from me, that I may weep bitterly; Strive not to comfort me for the desolation of the daughter of my people!

noyes@Isaiah:22:5 @ For a day of trouble, of desolation, and of perplexity cometh From the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, in the valley of vision. They break down the walls; The cry reacheth to the mountains.

noyes@Isaiah:22:6 @ Elam beareth the quiver, With chariots full of men, and with horsemen; Kir uncovereth the shield.

noyes@Isaiah:22:7 @ Thy fairest valleys, are full of chariots; The horsemen set themselves in array against the gate;

noyes@Isaiah:22:8 @ The veil of Judah is torn from her. But in such a day ye look to the armor of the house of the forest;

noyes@Isaiah:22:9 @ Ye mark how many are the breaches of the city of David, And collect the waters of the lower pool;

noyes@Isaiah:22:10 @ Ye number the houses of Jerusalem, And ye break down the houses to prepare the wall;

noyes@Isaiah:22:11 @ Ye make a reservoir between the two walls for the waters of the old pool; But ye look not to Him who hath done this; Ye regard not Him that hath prepared this from afar.

noyes@Isaiah:22:12 @ The Lord, Jehovah of hosts, calleth you this day To weeping and to lamentation, To baldness and to girding with sackcloth.

noyes@Isaiah:22:13 @ But, behold, joy and gladness, Slaying oxen and killing sheep, Eating flesh and drinking wine! "Let us eat and drink, For tomorrow we die!"

noyes@Isaiah:22:14 @ Therefore it hath been revealed in my ears by Jehovah of hosts; "This iniquity shall not be forgiven you, till ye die," Saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts.

noyes@Isaiah:22:15 @ Thus saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts: Go in to this steward, To Shebna, who is over the household, and say,

noyes@Isaiah:22:16 @ What hast thou here, and whom hast thou here, That thou here hewest thee out a sepulchre,That thou hewest out thy sepulchre on high, And gravest out a habitation for thyself in the rock?

noyes@Isaiah:22:17 @ Behold, Jehovah will cast thee headlong with a mighty thrust;

noyes@Isaiah:22:18 @ He will violently roll thee together like a ball; Like a ball will he hurl thee into a wide country. There shalt thou die; And there shall be thy splendid chariots, Thou disgrace of the house of thy lord!

noyes@Isaiah:22:19 @ I will drive thee from thy post, And from thy station I will pull thee down.

noyes@Isaiah:22:20 @ In that day I will call my servant, Even Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah;

noyes@Isaiah:22:21 @ I will clothe him with thy robe, And bind thy girdle around him; Thy government will I commit to his hand, And he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, And to the house of Judah.

noyes@Isaiah:22:22 @ I will lay the key of the house of David upon his shoulder; He shall open, and none shall shut, And he shall shut, and none shall open.

noyes@Isaiah:22:23 @ I will fasten him as a peg in a sure place, And he shall be a glorious seat for his fathers house.

noyes@Isaiah:22:24 @ Upon him shall hang all the glory of his fathers house, The offspring and the offshoots; Every small vessel, from the goblet even to all the pitchers.

noyes@Isaiah:22:25 @ In that day, saith Jehovah of hosts, The peg that was once fastened in a sure place shall be moved; It shall be cut down, and fall, And the burden which was upon it shall come to the ground. For Jehovah hath said it.
