1 The bur­den of the val­ley of vi­sion. What aileth thee now, that thou art whol­ly gone up to the house­tops? 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 are fled to­geth­er, they are bound by the archers: all that are found in thee are bound to­geth­er, which have fled from far. 4 There­fore said I, Look away from me; I will 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 by the Lord GOD of hosts in the val­ley of vi­sion, break­ing down the walls, and of cry­ing to the moun­tains. 6 And Elam bare 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 dis­cov­ered the cov­er­ing of Ju­dah, and thou didst look in that day to the ar­mour of the house of the for­est. 9 Ye have seen also the breach­es of the city of David, that they are many: and ye gath­ered to­geth­er 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 unto the mak­er there­of, nei­ther had re­spect unto 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 mine 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, get thee unto this trea­sur­er, even unto Sheb­na, which is over the house, and say, 16 What hast thou here? and whom hast thou here, that thou hast hewed thee out a sepul­chre here, as he that heweth him out a sepul­chre on high, and that graveth an habi­ta­tion for him­self in a rock? 17 Be­hold, the LORD will car­ry thee away with a mighty cap­tiv­i­ty, and will sure­ly cov­er thee. 18 He will sure­ly vi­o­lent­ly turn and toss thee like a ball into a large 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.
