1. vers
The burden of the valley of vision. What ails you now, that you have all gone up to the housetops?
2. vers
You 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.

You saw the breaches of David’s city, that they were many; and you gathered together the waters of the lower pool.
10. vers
You counted the houses of Jerusalem, and you broke down the houses to fortify the wall.

You 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 planned it long ago.
12. vers
In that day, the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, called to weeping, to mourning, to baldness, and to dressing in sackcloth;
13. vers

14. vers
Yahweh 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. vers
The Lord, Yahweh of Armies says, “Go, get yourself to this treasurer, even to Shebna, who is over the house, and say,
16. vers
‘What 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. vers
Behold, Yahweh will overcome you and hurl you away violently. Yes, he will grasp you firmly.
18. vers
He 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 disgrace of your lord’s house.

20. vers
It will happen in that day that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah,

22. vers
I will lay the key of David’s house on his shoulder. He will open, and no one will shut. He will shut, and no one will open.
23. vers
I will fasten him like a nail in a sure place. He will be for a throne of glory to his father’s house.
24. vers
They 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. vers
“In 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.”
