## Text

[1] This is the burden against the Valley of Vision:
What ails you now,
that you have all gone up to the rooftops, [2] O city of commotion,
O town of revelry?
Your slain did not die by the sword,
nor were they killed in battle. [3] All your rulers have fled together,
captured without a bow.
All your fugitives were captured together,
having fled to a distant place. [4] Therefore I said,
“Turn away from me, let me weep bitterly!
Do not try to console me
over the destruction of the daughter of my people.” [5] For the Lord GOD of Hosts has set a day
of tumult and trampling and confusion in the Valley of Vision—
of breaking down the walls
and crying to the mountains. [6] Elam takes up a quiver, with chariots and horsemen,
and Kir uncovers the shield. [7] Your choicest valleys are full of chariots,
and horsemen are posted at the gates. [8] He has uncovered
the defenses of Judah. On that day you looked to the weapons in the House of the Forest. [9] You saw that there were many breaches in the walls of the City of David. You collected water from the lower pool. [10] You counted the houses of Jerusalem and tore them down to strengthen the wall. [11] You built a reservoir between the walls for the waters of the ancient pool, but you did not look to the One who made it, or consider Him who planned it long ago. [12] On that day the Lord GOD of Hosts
called for weeping and wailing,
for shaven heads
and the wearing of sackcloth. [13] But look, there is joy and gladness,
butchering of cattle and slaughtering of sheep,
eating of meat and drinking of wine:
“Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die!” [14] The LORD of Hosts has revealed in my hearing:
“Until your dying day,
this sin of yours will never be atoned for,”
says the Lord GOD of Hosts. [15] This is what the Lord GOD of Hosts says: “Go, say to Shebna, the steward in charge of the palace: [16] What are you doing here, and who authorized you to carve out a tomb for yourself here—to chisel your tomb in the height and cut your resting place in the rock? [17] Look, O mighty man! The LORD is about to shake you violently. He will take hold of you, [18] roll you into a ball, and sling you into a wide land. There you will die, and there your glorious chariots will remain—a disgrace to the house of your master. [19] I will remove you from office, and you will be ousted from your position. [20] On that day I will summon My servant, Eliakim son of Hilkiah. [21] I will clothe him with your robe and tie your sash around him. I will put your authority in his hand, and he will be a father to the dwellers of Jerusalem and to the house of Judah. [22] I will place on his shoulder the key to the house of David. What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open. [23] I will drive him like a peg into a firm place, and he will be a throne of glory for the house of his father. [24] So they will hang on him the whole burden of his father’s house: the descendants and the offshoots—all the lesser vessels, from bowls to every kind of jar. [25] In that day, declares the LORD of Hosts, the peg driven into a firm place will give way; it will be sheared off and fall, and the load upon it will be cut down.” Indeed, the LORD has spoken.
