Isaiah 22:1 (ERVEN) Easy to Read - English

1 This is a message about the Valley of Vision: Jerusalem, what is wrong? Why has everyone gone up to hide in their upper rooms?
2 This city was so happy, but now there is a terrible uproar. There are bodies lying everywhere, but they were not killed with swords. The people died, but not while fighting.
3 All your officers ran away together, but they have all been captured without bows. All the leaders ran away together, but they were found and captured.
4 So I say, "Don't look at me! Let me cry! Don't rush to comfort me about the destruction of Jerusalem."
5 The Lord chose a special day for there to be riots and confusion. People trampled on each other in the Valley of Vision. The city walls were pulled down. People in the valley shouted up at those on the mountain.
6 Horse soldiers from Elam took their quivers full of arrows and rode into battle. Soldiers from Kir rattled their shields.
7 Your favorite valley was filled with chariots. Horse soldiers were stationed in front of the city gates.
8 Then the cover protecting Judah was removed, and the people turned to the weapons they kept at the Forest Palace.
9 Then you noticed how many cracks there were in the walls around the City of David, so you began collecting water from the Lower Pool. You counted the houses and used stones from them to repair the walls. Then you built a pool between the double walls for storing water from the Old Pool. You did all this to protect yourselves, but you did not trust in the God who made all these things. You did not even notice the one who made all these things so long ago.

12 So the Lord God All-Powerful told the people to cry and mourn for their dead friends. He told them to shave their heads and wear mourning clothes.
13 But look, everyone was happy. The people rejoiced, saying, "Kill the cattle and sheep and let's celebrate. Let's eat meat and drink wine. Eat and drink, for tomorrow we die."
14 The Lord All-Powerful said this to me and I heard it with my own ears: "You are guilty of doing wrong, and I promise that you will die before this guilt is forgiven." The Lord God All-Powerful said these things.
15 The Lord God All-Powerful told me this: "Go to Shebna, the palace manager.
16 Ask him, 'What are you doing here? None of your relatives are buried here are they? Then what right do you have to prepare a tomb for yourself in this high place? Why are you cutting a tomb out of this rock?'
17 "What a big man you are! But the Lord will crush you. He will roll you into a small ball and throw you far away into the open arms of another country, and there you will die." {The Lord said,} "You are very proud of your chariots. But in that faraway land, your new ruler will have better chariots. And your chariots will not look important in his palace.

19 I will force you out of your position here. Your new leader will take you away from your important job.
20 At that time I will call for my servant Eliakim son of Hilkiah.
21 I will take your robe and put it on him. I will give him your scepter. I will give him the important job you have, and he will be like a father to the people of Jerusalem and Judah's family.
22 "I will put the key to David's house around his neck. If he opens a door, no one will be able to close it. If he closes a door, no one will be able to open it.
23 He will be like a very honored chair in his father's house. I will make him like a strong peg in a solid board.
24 All the honored and important things of his father's house will hang on him. All the adults and little children will depend on him. They will be like little dishes and big water bottles hanging on him."
25 The Lord All-Powerful said, "At that time the peg that is now in the solid board will get weak and break. It will fall to the ground, and everything hanging on it will be destroyed. Then everything I said in this message will happen. It will happen because the Lord said it would."
1 The burden H4853 of the valley H1516 of vision. H2384 What H4100 aileth thee now, H645 that H3588 thou art wholly H3605 gone up H5927 to the housetops H1406 ?
2 Thou that art full H4392 of stirs, H8663 a tumultuous H1993 city, H5892 a joyous H5947 city: H7151 thy slain H2491 men are not H3808 slain H2491 with the sword, H2719 nor H3808 dead H4191 in battle. H4421
3 All H3605 thy rulers H7101 are fled H5074 together, H3162 they are bound H631 by the archers H4480 H7198 : all H3605 that are found H4672 in thee are bound H631 together, H3162 which have fled H1272 from far H4480 H7350 .
4 Therefore H5921 H3651 said H559 I , Look away H8159 from H4480 me ; I will weep H1065 bitterly, H4843 labor H213 not H408 to comfort H5162 me, because H5921 of the spoiling H7701 of the daughter H1323 of my people. H5971
5 For H3588 it is a day H3117 of trouble, H4103 and of treading down, H4001 and of perplexity H3998 by the Lord H136 GOD H3069 of hosts H6635 in the valley H1516 of vision, H2384 breaking down H6979 the walls, H7023 and of crying H7771 to H413 the mountains. H2022
6 And Elam H5867 bore H5375 the quiver H827 with chariots H7393 of men H120 and horsemen, H6571 and Kir H7024 uncovered H6168 the shield. H4043
7 And it shall come to pass, H1961 that thy choicest H4055 valleys H6010 shall be full H4390 of chariots, H7393 and the horsemen H6571 shall set themselves in array H7896 H7896 at the gate. H8179
8 And he discovered H1540 H853 the covering H4539 of Judah, H3063 and thou didst look H5027 in that H1931 day H3117 to H413 the armor H5402 of the house H1004 of the forest. H3293
9 Ye have seen H7200 also the breaches H1233 of the city H5892 of David, H1732 that H3588 they are many: H7231 and ye gathered together H6908 H853 the waters H4325 of the lower H8481 pool. H1295
10 And ye have numbered H5608 the houses H1004 of Jerusalem, H3389 and the houses H1004 have ye broken down H5422 to fortify H1219 the wall. H2346
11 Ye made H6213 also a ditch H4724 between H996 the two walls H2346 for the water H4325 of the old H3465 pool: H1295 but ye have not H3808 looked H5027 unto H413 the maker H6213 thereof, neither H3808 had respect H7200 unto him that fashioned H3335 it long ago H4480 H7350 .
12 And in that H1931 day H3117 did the Lord H136 GOD H3069 of hosts H6635 call H7121 to weeping, H1065 and to mourning, H4553 and to baldness, H7144 and to girding H2296 with sackcloth: H8242
13 And behold H2009 joy H8342 and gladness, H8057 slaying H2026 oxen, H1241 and killing H7819 sheep, H6629 eating H398 flesh, H1320 and drinking H8354 wine: H3196 let us eat H398 and drink; H8354 for H3588 tomorrow H4279 we shall die. H4191
14 And it was revealed H1540 in mine ears H241 by the LORD H3068 of hosts, H6635 Surely H518 this H2088 iniquity H5771 shall not be purged H3722 from you till H5704 ye die, H4191 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 of hosts. H6635
15 Thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 of hosts, H6635 Go, H1980 get H935 thee unto H413 this H2088 treasurer, H5532 even unto H5921 Shebna, H7644 which H834 is over H5921 the house, H1004 and say ,
16 What H4100 hast thou here H6311 ? and whom H4310 hast thou here, H6311 that H3588 thou hast hewed thee out H2672 a sepulcher H6913 here, H6311 as he that heweth him out H2672 a sepulcher H6913 on high, H4791 and that graveth H2710 a habitation H4908 for himself in a rock H5553 ?
17 Behold H2009 , the LORD H3068 will carry thee away H2904 with a mighty H1397 captivity, H2925 and will surely cover H5844 H5844 thee.
18 He will surely violently turn H6801 H6801 and toss H6802 thee like a ball H1754 into H413 a large H7342 H3027 country: H776 there H8033 shalt thou die, H4191 and there H8033 the chariots H4818 of thy glory H3519 shall be the shame H7036 of thy lord's H113 house. H1004
19 And I will drive H1920 thee from thy station H4480 H4673 , and from thy state H4480 H4612 shall he pull thee down. H2040
20 And it shall come to pass H1961 in that H1931 day, H3117 that I will call H7121 my servant H5650 Eliakim H471 the son H1121 of Hilkiah: H2518
21 And I will clothe H3847 him with thy robe, H3801 and strengthen H2388 him with thy girdle, H73 and I will commit H5414 thy government H4475 into his hand: H3027 and he shall be H1961 a father H1 to the inhabitants H3427 of Jerusalem, H3389 and to the house H1004 of Judah. H3063
22 And the key H4668 of the house H1004 of David H1732 will I lay H5414 upon H5921 his shoulder; H7926 so he shall open, H6605 and none H369 shall shut; H5462 and he shall shut, H5462 and none H369 shall open. H6605
23 And I will fasten H8628 him as a nail H3489 in a sure H539 place; H4725 and he shall be H1961 for a glorious H3519 throne H3678 to his father's H1 house. H1004
24 And they shall hang H8518 upon H5921 him all H3605 the glory H3519 of his father's H1 house, H1004 the offspring H6631 and the issue, H6849 all H3605 vessels H3627 of small quantity, H6996 from the vessels H4480 H3627 of cups, H101 even to H5704 all H3605 the vessels H3627 of flagons. H5035
25 In that H1931 day, H3117 saith H5002 the LORD H3068 of hosts, H6635 shall the nail H3489 that is fastened H8628 in the sure H539 place H4725 be removed, H4185 and be cut down, H1438 and fall; H5307 and the burden H4853 that H834 was upon H5921 it shall be cut off: H3772 for H3588 the LORD H3068 hath spoken H1696 it .
